Yes, I use New Window as the target frame.

When in Tablet Mode, I want my TOC to open expanded instead of the user having to touch the TOC button. There is nothing else for them to do after clicking the hamburger (menu) button except view the TOC. How can I save this extra step? See the image below. I want the TOC to look like the image on t...

The default behavior in the browsers I use is to Shift+click a hyperlink to open the link in a new browser window and Ctrl+Shift+click to open the link in a new browser tab. This does not work in my HTML help project. The linked topic always opens in the same frame. Oddly, the helper keys do work pr...

Sorry for the duplicate post... I'm getting kind of desperate. Looks like I will have to buy a full copy of Flare for my contributor. I have a Flare project that I want another editor to work on in Contributor. The content is already generated. The editor needs to revise it. The project has Conditio...

I have a Flare project that I want another editor to work on in Contributor. The content is already generated. The editor needs to revise it. The project has Conditions that allow us to create output for two products. I need my other editor to be able to review the topic while applying the Condition...

I tried this. It doesn't work for my project. The chapter starts are simply continuous.

I have a project with three outputs for three different versions of our software. I have conditions set up to exclude content that is or isn't included in the versions. Sometimes, a topic is marked to not appear in a target, but hyperlinks to that topic are not marked out. This leaves unlinked text ...

I have some very small, very short video clips in my project. Is there a way to specify how long the control stays on the screen after the user clicks to play the video? The default controls cover a lot of the clip and stay on for half the time the clip plays. I want them to disappear immediately wh...

:flare: I am using HTML5 as my output. I have about 500 little video clips in my project. They were .swf format, but I am converting them (at great pain and suffering) to .mp4 since we are releasing a Mac version of our product. (The .swf format isn't popular on Macs.) The way I interpret http://www...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I'm just on the edge of understanding this stuff. I will test these options with my sample project today.

Here's the deal. We publish our HTML5 help on an Amazon server. I have mapped the server "buckets" to a drive letter using a third-party product. So far, so good. I have tried building my project and then using Flare's Publish function to publish it to the server drive. This works, but the...

Hi, All, I wonder if anybody can help me with some scripting. I am trying to use JQuery to make some tabs in my topics. I got everything working, but I have a couple of problems remaining that I can't solve. I have attached a small project. When you open a topic with tabs for the first time, the tab...

outline:none;

Where do you specify this property?

I found out the problem had to do with upper case file names.

I want my topic link (not text) popups to shrink themselves to the fit the text. Is there any way to make this happen? I have tried setting the style width and having the length be "auto," but that makes the height way too short and adds a scroll bar.

Hi, All, This is my first time trying HTML5 output. I have everything working fine on my local machine, but when I post to the web server, the TOC, Index, and topic pages are blank. I only see the skin. None of the buttons or tabs work. I have read everything I can find about making HTML5 output wor...

I think something has gone awry with my setup. The image shows what I see in my Style Window and also in my Create Group dialog. There are lots of styles there that I should not see. I also have two linked style sheets that deal with Jquery scripts that I don't want to see styles from. AND, contrary...

They can't be disabled, because they are actually used. I don't quite get what you mean by 'used'. Disabling a style removes it from the styles list, XML editor and stylesheet editor; but it doesn't affect that style in the output. I have dozens of disabled styles which are used in the output, but ...

Is there a way to shorten up the list of styles in the Style Window? I have a lot of styles that are only used programmatically and should never be applied directly. I don't want these styles to show up in the Style Window as they cause a whole lot of unnecessary and painful scrolling. I have tried ...

On the Ribbon menu, the Insert Multimedia menu only allows Mimic Movies. All other options are grayed out. What may be causing that?

Careful with disabling styles that you don't use, as there are some styles that you won't use but that are still needed (e.g. <a>, which is used for hyperlinks). I learned that the hard way. I would love to have a way to hide these styles in the Flare UI so that only the styles I actually apply are...

I can't see that the setting does anything. The styles I have marked mc-hidden: hidden, still show in the Style Window. I'm really looking for a way to shut these off. What might I be doing wrong?

Did anyone find an answer for this? I also want to put my accordion controls at the top left.

Something happened to my project today. I don't know what, but now I can no longer drag snippets from the Content Explorer into my topics. Any ideas? I could do this up until today. I can't figure out what operation I could have done that would make this stop working.

Thank you, thank you. I was also able to use this information to get rid of the border I am using instead of text decoration on my other links.
