TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'll try to explain this. I have many topics that have dynamic
drop-downs used for steps, additional information, etc. Whenever these
topics are called from other topics as auto sizing pop-ups, unless these
topics are large enough that they require a scroll bar, the dynamic
drop-downs on these topics don't fit because they, in turn, have no
scroll bars. If these topics are called as regular jumps, this is not an
issue. I have 26 projects with hundreds of dynamic drop-downs. Is there
a way to ensure that when a topic is called as an autosizing pop-up it
will include a scroll bar, regardless of its length? Is this something I
have to live with because the dynamic drop-downs do work when the topic
is called regularly or from the TOC? Or, do I have to go through every
topic that contains a dynamic drop-down, see if it is long enough that
it will have a scroll bar and if it is not, change the call to call it
as a regular jump?
