TextSwap

The TextSwap (ID) action can replace text on a page or the contents in either a floating box or a table cell with new text. Any content within the floating box or table cell will be replaced by the new text. If the item to be replaced is text or the contents of a table cell, either must use an ID style. (See Creating ID styles and Applying styles.) The new text can either display for a set number of seconds before reverting to the original content or it can disappear without restoring the original content.

Important: This action works on Internet Explorer 5+ and Netscape 6+ browsers.

Trigger this action with a user-triggered or timeline-triggered event. Choose Action > Link > TextSwap (ID). If the content to be replaced is inside a floating box, choose the floating box name from the Layer pop-up menu. If the content to be replaced is text or the contents of a table cell, enter the ID style name used without its # symbol in the Element ID text box. Enter the new text.

Enter the number of seconds the new text will display before it reverts to the original content or simply disappears. If you don't want the original text or content to return to the page when the new text disappears, select Disappear Instead Of Revert. If you want to customize the formatting of the new text, enter an HTML start tag with attributes in the <open> text box and enter its closing tag in the </close> text box. For example, if you want the new text to display in green at size 5, you can enter

<font color="#00FF00" size="5">

in the <open> text box and

</font>

in the </close> text box.
