Hi All,
We are in the process of redoing our website. It will be done via Sharepoint (not my decision, so lets not discuss the pros and cons of using Sharepoint for a company's website).
I am responsible for the English content. In order to make information more quickly accessible, and reduce the number of Pages, I'd like to use drop-down text, like we can do in online help.
For example:
Page: How to Give
<intro text>
> Endowments (user would click and view text about Endowments)
> Lifetime Investment (user would click and view text about Lifetime Investments)
Etc. and so forth.
I do not want users to have to go to a new page for a brief para of text and I don't want them to have to scroll through tons of ways to give with all the text.
So it seems to me Drop-down text is the best solution.
Can Drop-down text (Dyanamic HTML) be used in Sharepoint Webpages?
If this requires special steps, can you let me know what they are so I can pass the information on to the appropriate people?
Thanks!
Deborah
