Reply To: HTML5 TOC

Hi Rosie,

I replied to your email, but I’ll also answer here in case others are interested as well.

Interactive content cannot be placed inside a button. Put simply: how will the browser know if you’re clicking on the button, or something inside the button?

This is unfortunate, because InDesign’s hide/show feature is limited to buttons (and form elements). In the future, in5 will support interactive content within Multi-State Objects, which should address the functionality that you’re looking for.

It’s a bit more work, but you can create a custom hide/show menu: https://ajarproductions.com/pages/products/in5/demos.php#creating-a-toggle-to-showhide-items

Regarding the Scrolling Frame, if you set Text Rendering to HTML, the TOC links will work within the Scrolling Frame.

Hope that helps.
