Re: Broken URLs with Apache Tomcat

Has anyone encountered this issue with Flare 2019 r2?

We seem to be having this issue with the newest version of Flare.

I have a HTML5 tripane skin output, with enabled responsive output.

At tablet and mobile sizes, when you click the menu button to open the navigation panel, the initial view of the navigation panel does not include the top level headings of the TOC. You just see one entry, called ...

I have encountered the same issue. As you found, I can fix it externally in the mobile stylesheet, but this is not respected when I republish the Help. Did you figure out how to make the change in the Flare skin editor?

One more question from me on this wet Friday afternoon!
How do I make the body text fill the entire page size in a Top Nav output? I have checked the stylesheet and there is nothing set in the max width of the <body> or <p> tags. I tried setting this to 100%, but it made no difference ...

Re: Responsive button in Top Nav home page

Thanks a lot for the tips. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the issue that I am seeing.

With just 100% width added, the button ran off the page to the right in the laptop view. The tablet and mobile views had the same issues as before. With both 100% width and padding 0.5em added, the button was ...

Re: Top Nav formatting

Good spot, but Default_Lavastorm.css is the correct stylesheet. Lavastorm - HTMLTopNav.css is an older css file that I had just applied to the topic for testing a few minutes ago to see if the output had the same issue (which it did).
