I have the most current build installed (build 3681)
I am compiling to HTML Help (CHM)
I am using the default HTML template (no modifications)
I am using a Skin (see below)
I notice that when I click on a topic in the TOC that has toggled text, I see a quick flash of the hidden text. After that, I see only my toggle header (which is correct). The toggle opens as it should with no issues.
The flash is very quick...so I doubt most customers will even notice it (unless they are using a very very slow computer). SO, this isn't something we cannot live with - just wondering why it might be happening and if there is something that can be done to make it go away.
I am using an edited skin (to comply with our company branding standards) - but to ensure that I didn't cause the problem by over-editing, attached the H&M7 only HTML skin to my project. I get the same results using the unedited, default, "out-of-the-box" template created by the H&M engineers.
It makes no difference if the toggle below contains straight text, a table, or graphics.
Your opinion/suggestion is valued

Re: Toggled Text
Hi Cindy,
That is normal but it is unusual that you are able to see it. The toggles are normal text until they are initialized by the page scripts -- this makes it possible to view the contents of the page with JavaScript turned off. Normally this is so fast that it is never consciously visible -- it actually happens before the browser can even render anything on the page. I haven't been able to see it for years. I can only imagine that you're viewing it on a very slow computer or a very slow connection, or possibly both?

Re: Toggled Text
Working from home - yes, a slow connection. I was seeing it in this case.
BUT on the office today - and can still see it. Not using VPN - and I am working on a local machine - not over a network.
I have a brand new computer - so highly unlikely that it's a slow computer issue.
It's a FLASH - so like I said, not earth-shattering.
BUT if it is normal behavior - then no problem (although compiling it in H&M6, I do not see it - so interesting).

Re: Toggled Text
Hi Cindy,
How many toggles do you have on the page? If you have a lot, that could explain it because the script needs to initialize each one individually.

Re: Toggled Text
Only ONE... text above explains what the topic is for - topic in the toggle is in a table and outline the commands on the ribbon.
Other topics have 2-3 toggles and I see the first toggle flash - either tables or text in the toggles
Like I said - not a big deal. I was just wondering since I'd never seen it before.
Thanks.
