dynamic resizing of images in WebHelp

Unread post by Steve Bratt »

Is there a way to get images that display in the WebHelp window dynamically resize to fit the display window?

I have created WebHelp and our developers have put in in our product but when the help is opened, the user has to scroll to completely see some of the images.

I would like to make the behavior so that dynamically, when an image displays in the window it autmatically fits to the window size so there is no scrolloing necassary.

Thanks.

Hi Steve,

That's not currently available as a feature, although it's an interesting idea and would be possible -- I'll make a note of it for the future. However, what you can do is use the current image toggles feature. This won't display to fit the user's current window width, but it will display a smaller version of the image as a preview that the user can then click on to display the full-sized version.

We're using Help & Manual 6, and I'm seeking the same capability: to have an image resize based on the width of the browser window (but hopefully not beyond the size of the original image). Has such a feature been implemented?

This is included in Help & Manual 7. See this topic in the help for details:

I see - thanks! I also downloaded the trial version for version 7, and it works exactly like I'd hope. :) Now it's just a matter of getting approval to purchase an upgrade.
