How to configure the placement of the sidebar when displaying books

[gerry]

In putting together our Tibetan digital library, we notice that the sidebar containing the table of contents is automatically sized larger than what we want and contains a lot of white space (see attached image). We typically then go and reduce the size of the sidebar to cover up the white space so we can read more text. When we then select another table of contents entry, the sidebar automatically reverts back to the larger size.

Is there a way to configure XTF to keep the size of the table of contents sidebar reduced after a table of contents selection?

Thanks,

With css, no?

Hi Gerry,

The toc and the content are shown in two frames in a frameset that is defined in teiDocFormatter.xsl:

   ...

   <!-- ====================================================================== -->

   <!-- Frames Template                                                        -->

   <!-- ====================================================================== -->

   <xsl:template name="frames" exclude-result-prefixes="#all">

   ...

           <frameset cols="35%,65%">

           ...

So the toc automatically gets 35% of the width.

Perhaps a solution with a fixed width for the toc - e.g, 300 pixels - is better?

           <frameset cols="300,*">

If you rather want your application to remember the width set by the user you need some scripting (javascript), I think.

Cheers,

Hi Oyestein,

Great -- we modified the frameset cols and got just the results we needed! Thank you very much for your help.

That's funny, we got rid of the frames first thing and I had forgotten that they were there out of the box.

I got rid of the frames also. Or rather my colleague did, before I took over his work. But I missed them too.

:-P
