FAQ drop down boxes

Shamelessly stealing Acorn's hard work. I would attack it using layers rather that separate pages which keeps everything in the same place, gives the option of using the built in animations and eliminates the small amount of code.

Nicely lifted Chris, I avoided Layers as you cannot (easily) collapse the expanded FAQ.

The layers are left at the default 'Close Pop-up Automatically'. Click anywhere and the pop-up closes.
I would have been nice to have the the animation drop downwards on the index page, then push upwards on a layered page, but alas it was not meant to be.

Chris, with the popup: open "...2 close "..." Tweak, you can add Fades: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...anced-features in and out: Layer Name: layerX (fade-in 2) (fade-out 5) for a 2 second fade in and a 5 second fade out and the Link call would be popup: open "(fade-in 2)", "(fade-out 5)". I have found these undocumented features usually quite difficult to remember and maintain.

This will be my afternoon reading. Thank you.

I use the 'layer name(lock)' - 'popup:close' quite often and it will be good to find other little snippets.

I have just separated my FAQs into a separate design file and changed all the links back to Link > Link to Page: xyz.
I then made the show a Vertical Supersite with Horizontal Cube Rotate.

If this is published to the same folder and the main site, the Placeholder link should still work.

I feel this is superior to layering as it then becomes more portable.

Afternoon Acorn,

Like the idea of using a supersite; it would be good to see your updated XAR doc. It gives you a neat solution for vertical accordions without having to write code (save for the two lines in the placeholder).
