Hyperlink Options in HTML-based Outputs
  • Same Window uses standard HTML <A HREF> tags to display the destination topic in the same window. The target topic must be included in the published output for the link to be created.
  • New Window uses standard HTML <A HREF> tags to display the destination topic in a new window. The target topic must be included in the published output for the link to be created.
  • Standard Popup in HTML, XHTML, and HTML Help, a standard popup uses the HTML Help ActiveX control to display the destination topic in a popup window. In JavaHelp and Oracle Help for Java, it uses the native popup functionality of those technologies. The target topic does not need to be included in the published output.

    Note: Standard popups are text-only and do not display character formatting, tables or graphics.

  • Expanding Block uses Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to show and hide (or "expand" and "collapse") the fully formatted text of the destination topic. Clicking the link will make the topic expand and appear in a block below the paragraph containing the anchor text, and clicking it once more will make it disappear again. The target topic does not need to be included in the published output.
  • Expanding Inline uses Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to show and hide (or "expand" and "collapse") the fully formatted text of the destination topic. Clicking the link will make the topic appear inline and in the same paragraph immediately following the anchor text, and clicking it once more will make it disappear again. The target topic does not need to be included in the published output.

    Note: If the destination topic contains multiple paragraphs, only the first paragraph is used.

  • Popup on Click uses Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to display the fully formatted text of the destination topic in a popup window. The popup is activated on clicking, and remains open until closed. It can be closed by either clicking the link again, or by clicking the close button in the top right corner. The target topic does not need to be included in the published output.
  • Popup on Hover uses Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to display the fully formatted text of the destination topic in a popup window. The popup is displayed when the mouse is hovered over the anchor text, and disappears when the mouse is moved away. The target topic does not need to be included in the published output.
