Sure. This problem is not difficult to solve but you cannot do it using a dialog box (in my previous email, I explained that you can do that using a dialog box for *multi-page* XHTML). You need to customize the XSLT style sheet that generates the single XHTML page. > I have one further question... > > I want a table of contents, but I am creating a very large XHTML technical > help file, so I would like it to appear in a floating div on the left of the > page, with the content displayed in a floating scrolling div on the right of > the page.

Once again, you need to customize the XSLT style sheet that generates the single XHTML page. See DocBook XSL Stylesheet Reference Documentation by Norman Walsh. http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/ See DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide by Bob Stayton. http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ --- PS: How to *integrate* a customized XSLT style sheet in XXE is explained here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html
