Our upper management likes popups, but doesn't like the fact that the links appear the same as all other types of linked elements in WebHelp - that is, with the font in blue and underlined. (Other links are references to other topics, URLs, toggles, and so on).
I know that I can change the link visual style in the skin, but I think the change applies to ALL hyperlinks. Is there a way to differentiate just popup-type visual clues?
Can I create a way to differentiate links type in WebHelp?

Re: Can I create a way to differentiate links type in WebHel
I don't recall which skin you are using, but the general (e.g. skinless) answer is in the 'HTML5 and CSS Tutorial' sample that ships with Help & Manual. It's in the section 'Styling your Hyperlinks with CSS'.
Here's an example:
Looks like this:
Here's an example:
Code: Select all
a.popuplink {
/* clear what you don't want to inherit */
border: none;
color: currentcolor;
text-decoration: none;
/* indicate it's a popup link */
border-bottom: 1px dotted currentcolor;
}

Hi Dave,
If you're using Premium Pack skins they have link styling built in. See the following topics in the documentation:
V3 Skins: http://www.it-authoring.com/info/pp3hel ... tyles.html
V2 Skins: http://www.it-authoring.com/info/pp3hel ... tyles.html
