Linking to the TOC, Index, Search from a topic?

Post by beagley »

Is there anyway to create a hyperlink in a topic that will cause my Web Help window to jump to the Index, the Search, or the TOC, etc?

My welcome page for my Web Help includes a legend, explaining what each of the icon buttons do. I want to make those items click-able, just like the icon buttons are.

The solution is described in this post: http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... 458#p47956

You need to add a skin for each accordian item that you want to jump to. The difference between each skin file is in the Basic>Features list where you can set different defaults. Then when contructing your link, use the documented method for opening a topic (probably the current topic in your case), but with the different skin.
