You can enhance the way users interact with your topics by applying hotspots. A hotspot is specially formatted text that performs an action when clicked.
There are two special kinds of hotspots that you can add to topics:
Expanding hotspot: Users click text and it expands to display additional text (immediately following the hotspot). You can use expanding hotspots in many ways. For example, the hotspot could be a term. When clicked, it expands to display its corresponding definition, as shown in the following example:
Use an avocado to make guacamole.
Drop-down hotspot: Users click text and additional information "opens" below the hotspot. You can use drop-down hotspots in many ways. For example, users click a word that provides instructions or details about a task, as shown in the following example:
Use an avocado to make guacamole.
Note: Expanding and drop-down hotspots are based on Dynamic HTML. The effects can only be viewed with Internet Explorer 4.x or later. Non-Internet Explorer 4.x users will see both the hotspot and the text.
