Drop-Down Links

Hey, I am building a website using Publisher 2003 and am having a few
difficulties. I am trying to put a list on a page and when you click on an
item in the list, information appears underneath it, if you click the link
again the information dissapears, eg, if you click all the links, you have
can have a long page with lots of info. I don't know what these are called,
but it would me muchly appreciated if anyone could tell me how I can make
these.

Thanks in advance, Meg

I don't know that there is a good answer, but another poster has asked the
same question, so I will offer this opinion.

I am guessing that you want the same effect that is seen on this page when
you click the + signs?

This is a dynamic effect that has no built-in support in Publisher. While
you might find a javascript solution for this, I am doubtful that a good
solution exists for Publisher web pages, as the html coding engine produces
a static, fixed width and length page using absolute positioning. I am
guessing that this will be incompatible with a dynamic feature that
effectively expands and contracts a text box and the page. Never the less,
you can google for "javascript, expand text" or some such to see if you can
find some code that would work. If you find a solution, please post back.

Sounds like exactly what the OP wanted. Hope they post back as to whether
they get it to work.

hmmm...maybe not since it requires a line be added in the <head> section.

True, you can not easily access the <head> section, but it might still work
by just inserting that line into the body of the page. I have tested many of
these little javascript snippets over the years, and more often than not,
they still work One of the oddities of Publisher webs...
