Advice for show more show less drop downs

[RickD]

Hello,

I have a Flare 12 HTML 5 Top nav project that uses Drop downs a lot - to give users access to additional information on sections in a topic. For a lot of these drops down, they are simply called 'show more' and occur after the first paragraph in a given section (within a topic). Because i have called the drop down headings 'Show more', they still says 'Show more' when the drop down is expanded.

My question is, is there is a way to make the 'Show more', say 'Show less' if the drop down has been expanded.

Many thanks for any help / advise
Rick

I don't know that there is an easy way to change the text. But you can set the mc-closed-image and mc-open-image attributes of the MadCap|dropDown style to images with text similar to this to achieve that effect.

Looks like it'll require some jQuery/JS to achieve, but doable:

Many thanks for the ideas and solutions - and the JS example - looking forward to trying them out.
