WebJumpType element

Author-it XML Format

Description

How and where the target of the link appears.

Same Window

Uses standard HTML <A HREF> tags to display the destination topic in the same window.

New window

Uses standard HTML <A HREF> tags to display the destination topic in a new window.

Standard popup

In HTML, XHTML, and HTML Help, a standard popup uses the HTML Help ActiveX control to display the destination topic in a popup window. In JavaHelp and Oracle Help for Java, it uses the native popup functionality of those technologies.

Note: Standard pop-ups are text-only and do not display character formatting, tables, or graphics.

Expanding Block

Uses Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to show and hide (or "expand" and "collapse") the fully formatted text of the destination topic. Clicking the link will make the topic expand and appear in a block below the paragraph containing the anchor text, and clicking it once more will make it disappear again.

Expanding Inline

Uses Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to show and hide (or "expand" and "collapse") the fully formatted text of the destination topic. Clicking the link will make the topic appear inline and in the same paragraph immediately following the anchor text, and clicking it once more will make it disappear again.

Note: If the destination topic contains multiple paragraphs, only the first paragraph is used.

popup on Click

Uses Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to display the fully formatted text of the destination topic in a popup window. The popup is activated on clicking, and remains open until closed. It can be closed by either clicking the link again, or by clicking the close button in the top right corner.

popup on Hover

Uses Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to display the fully formatted text of the destination topic in a popup window. The popup is displayed when the mouse is hovered over the anchor text, and disappears when the mouse is moved away.

The WebJumpType element corresponds to the "Jump from anchor to" field on the HTML tab of the Hyperlink object.
