Info Panel

Description:

This simple RCO is typically used as a sub-component of more complex RCOs, to provide combo box (dropdown list and display box) functionality. If this is all that were needed, simple HTML would suffice. However this RCO gives you flexibility in the size of the content display areas, and is well suited for instructions or "tips"

The instructor need only provide an XML file with a set of terms. A term consists of a label and associated text. The instructor also provides a title for the Info Panel.

The sample XML file provided below can be populated with this data and must placed in the same location as the HTML file used to access and present this RCO.

Example usage:

This link will bring up a separate browser window with a page that uses this RCO. Note there are three RCOs used on this page. The Info Panel RCO is in a box labeled Instructions and Hints.
