The TOC template for Webhelp

This HTML template is only used in Webhelp. It generates the Table of Contents (TOC) pane in the frame layout that emulates the appearance and functionality of the HTML Help viewer in a normal browser.

Be particularly careful when editing this template! The TOC template is an integral part of the dynamic TOC of your Webhelp output. Its code is essential for the proper functioning of the help.

When you publish the actual table of contents for your project is inserted in the TOC page by the <%TABLE_OF_CONTENTS%> variable.

Script links for expanding and collapsing the TOC

You can use the following code to create links that will allow the user to expand and collapse the entire TOC with a single click:

<a href="javascript:parent.fullexpand()">Expand the TOC</a>
<a href="javascript:parent.fullcollapse()">Collapse the TOC</a>

Note that these links can only be used within the TOC template. You cannot use them in your topic pages or in other panes of the navigation frame.
