Webhelp Classic - Prevent resizing TOC

[mdslup]

When generating classic webhelp, it's possible to click and hold the line between the left-side table of content and the right side content, and move the divider left and right.

Is it possible to disable this?

Hi mdslup,

There is no predefined action or parameter you could use in the transformation scenario to hide / disable the splitter in the WebHelp Classic output.
However, there is a workaround which you could use to disable the splitter bar and make the side TOC fixed.
Specifically, you should edit the "toc_driver.js" file from the OxygenInstallDir\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT2.x\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic\oxygen-webhelp\resources\skins\desktop folder and comment the entire if clause after the description:

/**
* @description Split page in leftPane and rightPane
*/

Code: Select all

    if ( $("html").attr("dir") != "rtl") {

    $("#splitterContainer").splitter({

        minAsize: 0,

        maxAsize: 600,

        splitVertical: true,

        A: $('#leftPane'),

        B: $('#rightPane'),

        closeableto: 0,

        animSpeed: 100

    });

    } else {

        $("#splitterContainer").splitter({

            minBsize: 0,

            maxBsize: 600,

            splitVertical: true,

            A: $('#rightPane'),

            B: $('#leftPane'),

            closeableto: 100,

            animSpeed: 100

        });

    }

This will disable the divider.

To re-enable it at a later time, you could just uncomment those block.

Ah, I didn't think about checking the js file. Thanks!
