I do have buttons on the left: Expand/Collapse, Previous Topic, Next Topic. I did not try a filler, but that should work. Thanks!

I am adding a custom button to my HTML5 toolbar--a "How to use this help" button. Because it's longer than the standard buttons on the toolbar, I'd like it to flush right on the toolbar. The default class for toolbar buttons in the output is button-group-container-left. From what I've seen, the skin ...

Was backing up my project files to our git repository earlier this week when the checkin process was interrupted by a file conflict, and the GUI I was using apparently know what to do with the files in process, so it deleted them, including my Flare project source files.

Check your other styles, specifically the base html tag and the body tag. I'm not sure what takes precedence if there is a background color and image specified. If you have a white background on the base html tag, then that might take precedence over the background image in the html class if colors ...

2. Created a master page, right-clicked the html structure bar and selected html.bkgrnd
3. Clicked Open Primary Target (MyWebHelp), clicked Advanced tab, selected ...
