Inline Popup and Popup Text Hot Spots

The Inline Popup hot spot appears as a link in the help target, and, when clicked, opens a pop-up box containing the pop-up text specified in the Popup Text hot spot. These hot spots work together and cannot be used separately from one another.

Note: Inline Popup and Popup Text hot spot types are not supported in Manual, WinHelp and JavaHelp help targets.

The Behavior property of the Inline Popup hot spot type is set to Inline Popup. The following predefined styles have this Behavior, and the corresponding HTML tag or Word Style can be used when formatting without the D2HML Styles toolbar:
