Drop Down Text & Graphic Blocks?

[dgolden26]

Using Xara WD 11 Premium - - is it possible to create a button that when clicked,
a text block (not menu) with graphics drops down below it? For example, the
button would say: "Read More" and when clicked the text and graphic block would
drop down below it? If so, how?

There are limitations. Xara can't dynamically change the page length as some sites do. So understanding that you're stuck with a fixed height page there are at least three ways.

1: Link to another page containing the read more text & graphics, with a back button to reload the parent page.

2: Use pop up layers. The main limitation here, is that you'll need to know the length of your longest Read More article.

3: The Read More button opens a placeholder to load an external html page (with scroll bars if required)


I'd prefer option two. I attach a demo file (screengrabs courtesy of bbc.co.uk)
