Re: MadCapAll.js Error: Object doesn't support property...

Yes, I did report it. In the meantime, I have a good/older MadCapAll.js saved in Content\Resources\Scripts\ and the following script in the Post Build-Event for my HTML5 target: del "$(OutputDirectory)\Resources\Scripts\MadCapAll.js" copy "$(ProjectDirectory)\Content\Resources\Scripts...

I am using Madcap Flare 2021 r2 to generate HTML5 output for in-application, context-sensitive help. When the online help is accessed from within the application and a user selects a link within the help topic, a script error appears: Object doesn't support property or method 'startsWith' The error ...

Mimic Performance Issues

Has anyone experienced extensive performance issues with Mimic, such as repeated crashing, delayed file opening, and lengthy build time? I'm working with a Mimic project that is just over 100 frames with audio, text boxes and mouse clicks. It takes 15-20 minutes to open the file. I manage to add the...

Re: moving the search bar into the header

Just wanted to post an update regarding some modifications to the jquery I had to make with Flare 2018. Instead of using the navigation-wrapper, I had to use ul.navigation to position the buttons. $(document).ready(function(){ $("#btnClose").insertAfter("ul.navigation"); }); $(do...

Re: Flare 2018 Broke My Customized HTML5 Top Nav Skin

I'm sorry you guys are in the same boat as me. I made a backup of my project so I could keep my Flare 2017 skin intact. Then, I spent some time Friday updating my css and jquery to accommodate Flare's 2018 flexbox. The Flexbox concept allows you to manipulate where your logo, search and navigation m...

Re: Flare 2018 Broke My Customized HTML5 Top Nav Skin

I received an update from Flare Support that I wanted to share... With the release of Flare 2018, we have changed the customization of the top navigation skin to use flexbox. This aims at providing a more efficient way to lay out, align and distribute space among items in a container, even when thei...

Flare 2018 Broke My Customized HTML5 Top Nav Skin

I have a customized HTML5 top navigation modified using css and jquery. I just completed my first build under Flare 2018 and the custom positioning of my objects is completely out of whack. I didn't expect a new version of Flare to trash my custom skin. Any suggestions on easily resolving this issue...

Re: Need an X or Close on pop-up images

It appears that you have added the image, but you are missing the close javascript behind it. I had a similar issue and used jquery to move a close button from the content to the header.

Thanks Dave! A little trial and error and I came up with this... $(document).ready(function(){ $(".search-bar").prependTo(".title-bar-section"); }); And modified the .css to control the size and positioning. .search-bar { width: 33.33%; float: right; margin-right: 140px; margin-t...

Re: moving the search bar into the header

I can't get past the nav div. I believe the clearfix is preventing anything from floating to the right of the nav div - instead forcing it below. If I open an output .htm in Visual Studio, I can move around the div tags to get everything in the right spot. I just can't figure out how to "break&...

Thanks Casey. It moved the Search bar to the right, but its still underneath the nav menu. Thanks for the suggestion.

moving the search bar into the header

I'm working with an HTML5 - Top Navigation template. I've been tasked with moving the search bar into the header in between the product logo and the drop-down menu. I'm pretty savvy with CSS, but I'm new to scripting. Do you have any recommendations on making this change to the search bar? Thanks!

Re: Adding a Label to the Navigation Slide Out Button

That did the trick! I tweaked it a bit so the icon would appear first followed by the text. It looks beautiful. Thank you so much. .menu-icon::before { content: "Explore"; color: #ffffff; position: relative; right: -10px; top: 12px; float: right; width: 120px; }

Re: Adding a Label to the Navigation Slide Out Button

That was a good suggestion. I added a duplicate CSS entry in the MainStyles.css, but altered the width to accommodate a longer image that included a label. Unfortunately, the two CSS entries (MainStyles.css and Tablet.css) canceled each other out and no icon appeared. Once I removed the entry from t...

Adding a Label to the Navigation Slide Out Button

Is there a way to add a label to the Navigation Slide Out Button? If a label is not possible, can a tooltip be added? I attempted to add the label to the image file, but the image text was blurry and the tablet.css restricts the icon size to 48x48. The size can be altered in the tablet.css, but I'm ...

Re: Tip: Styling conditions in HTML5 help

Just to clarify...we can only style condition tags for HTML5 output? If I want to add a background color to a condition tag for PDF output, my only option is to tag the text with a condition and tag it with a style. Correct?
