Popups are mini topics used to display a small amount of information in a small "popup” window, which is normally displayed when the user clicks on a link. Popups are used both in the help text itself and in applications, where they are referred to as "field-level popups".
Natively, field-level popups are a special Microsoft technology that is only supported in HTML Help CHM files. However, the responsive skins in the Premium Pack 3 add-on for Help+Manual also add field-level popups for WebHelp.
Topics used as popups should be created in the Project Files section so that they do not have TOC entries. For more details on field-level popups see Using Context-Sensitive Help and Context-Sensitive Help and Popups.
Key Information You must create popup topics in the Topic Files section, not in the TOC section! You cannot assign the Popup topic class in the TOC. |
