Cannot see search hits when using drop-downs
We are using Flare drop-downs for window fields. So, we have a page for each window and, on the page, names and description of all the fields. Each field/description pair is a drop-down. The problem is that when you search in HTML Help for a word that appears in the description, you get the hit in your search results window but you cannot see where the hits are unless you go down the page and expand all the drop-downs. This, of course, is not ideal. Anybody know if we can do anything about this?

AFAIK that's the nature of the beast with HTML help, whether you build it with Flare or any other tool.
Until next time....

Re: Cannot see search hits when using drop-downs
Is there a way to compile HTML Help with the dropdowns expanded as opposed to collapsed?
Or, is there any way around this? Is there any way to keep our dropdowns and get our search hits showing up on the .chm?
Or, if we have to ditch the dropdowns, is there a way to unbind all drop-downs on a page in one go - instead of selecting them one by one?
Or, any other ideas?
