Thanx Sreeram<br>
<br>
Nice explanation. I got the button working in a standard Xerte file not
using the template.<br>
<br>
I want to give the user two or more choices (buttons) which will then
lead to different parts of the lesson.<br>
<br>
But to add that to the template, I think I would need to know how to:<br>
<ol>
<li>Edit the wxd file<br>
</li>
<li>Then create a new rlm model or edit an existing one</li>
<li>Ask question in the template with regards to "how many buttons
to insert"</li>
<li>Ask question or allow repositioning of the buttons<br>
</li>
<li>Program template to build that amount of buttons</li>
<li>Ask question for labels for these buttons</li>
<li>Ask link location for each button</li>
</ol>
This is too much for me. I think I can see what is required, but the
coding will be too difficult.<br>
<br>
If you can let me know if my thinking is correct, then at least I know
that.<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Stefan<br>
