Re: Span tags in menu proxies
Sometimes you do not need to use the XML file to do this kind of thing. If you know the CSS selector (that can be found using the developer tools in the browser), then you can add that to your mainstyles.css or homestyes.css stylesheets which should override whatever has been specified in the skin. ...

Re: How to make top-nav-sub-menu display horizontally
Can you post some images of the design or what you have seen previously?
That would help us elaborate further as to the possibilities.

Re: Invalid line-height: inherit error
I had this particular issue in my project. In terms of the font awesome side of things, I just commented out the line-height declaration as we were not using it anyway. At the time (and since) I reported it to Madcap. It's valid CSS, so Flare should not complain about it. I never actually got a repl...

Re: It's almost 2019, why is nth-of-type not supported?
Why? Because their CSS parser is really outdated, that's why.
I was visiting the Madcap team last week and gave them a long list of notes, and this was mentioned multiple times. So I suggest you open your own feature request too. The more people ask, the more likely they will do it.

Re: Separator in top navigation menu bar

A while back, I had some icons in my top nav menu which have ...

Re: What are the rules/restrictions when creating drop-downs
I've seen the same thing, I put it down to the XML window loosing focus and not regaining it correctly when you click in it again. This happens commonly when you work in the XML editor and text editor side by side. But it's probably a combination of other things too. Dave is also right... wind direc...

Re: How do I mark a top nav menu item as new? Flare v12.0.59
Even though the mark as new is not supported in Top Nav, you could just make your own style to apply to the menu item.

Re: On-leave event (delay) for top nav menu items?
I think anything you build will conflict with Madcaps own script as that controls the hover events for the Top Nav menu items. However, could be worth giving it a go in Javascript or Jquery. I was prototyping something recently that did something similar but it was a custom item I was controlling ba...

ul.sub-menu is the selector for all of those sub menus. You can put that in your stylesheet and use the usual border styles.

Re: Unwanted change to top nav after editing styles
There's a few divs that make up that nav bar after the compile, and if you didn't touch the skin - its possible you altered the style for one of those (maybe you had pre-existing CSS styling part of one of them?)
Can you provide a list of the styles you changed so we can see how they may relate?

Re: Change color of selected topnav menu item
I've been exploring some similar things for a future project. If you are talking about the top nav menu items, the best thing to do is use jquery to search for elements that have attributes instead of IDs (as you can't add ID's from Flare). Each Top Nav item has an mc-data-id which is totally unique...

Re: Format menu items based on conditions
Glad to hear its working (kind of).
The book I was referring to was the TOC book (a collection of topics). Not the whole project.
The styling issue is likely because there is some CSS that overrides the TOC style when the item is selected. The dev tools should tell you that.

Re: Format menu items based on conditions
Yes I am.
I remember adding the styles was easy, but I did take a little bit of time to get them to apply properly.
Looking at your code, I think you are trying to add the style to a whole book, whereas mine is an individual topic in the TOC... Thats the only difference I can think of.

Re: TOC - Page Title
Mine comes from Print Only Topics > TOC.htm
In that file is a P style that says 'Contents' (with a p.TOCHeading styleclass) and then the TOC Proxy below that. I think mine originally said TOC but I changed it to Contents.

Flare does have a 'Mark as new' feature. But you can only use it fully in TriPane I think (I stand to be corrected).
