automatically closing drop-downs, when others are opened?

Post by sanjsrik »

I have an FAQ page that has a two-level drop-down nested list. This means the following (I cannot get the nested structure to show up in this post, however it would be two-levels deep with the top-level as a drop-down and the child-level below each of the top-level drop-downs):

[[Added an attachment as to how the nested drop-downs should look]]

and so on. What I need is for the top-level drop-down to close if the user opens the previous one and then clicks the top-level drop-down under the one he's just opened. I also need to happen on the child-level drop-downs as well. Does anyone know how to make that happen in the application?

Thanks in advance.

When a WebHelp output refreshes, all drop-downs revert to closed. I'm wondering if you could program an onclick script to refresh the page and then open the selected drop-down. With WebHelp (and not HTML 5), each drop-down has an ID, so it seems like it's possible. This has come up before recently, but I haven't had a chance to work on it.
