Thanks for your replies. Think I will live with the hotspots as they are as it is fairly clear they can be clicked on when you point the cursor at them, as the cursor changes style. It would have been nice for them to act more like proper buttons, as this would be more consistent with the existing s...

Hi. Does anyone know how to make an Image Map hotspot respond when you point the cursor at it, to convey that it's a button? Not sure if this is possible. I'm using HTML5. Thanks

I found this site really useful, thanks. It explains exactly what I wanted to achieve.

Thanks very much for the reply, I will check this out.

I am thinking of ways to improve the style of Tips and Notes that are used in the HTML5 output. I would like to achieve something like the following, if possible, which appears to use coloured tables with rounded corners. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Thanks very much, I see it now.

I have added some glossary terms in a topic using the HTML5 output. Can someone tell me how to change the colour of the text, and the style of the associated icon in the topic (not in a search result). Thanks for any advice.

Hi. Can anyone recommend the best approach to configuring the Search for HTML outputs. If I select 'Partial word searching' in the target, the build times are very slow. Without this selected, I don't think the search works effectively, as you cannot search on a partial word. I was wondering if ther...

Hi. I sometimes have to add another table within an existing table row. Can anyone offer any tips for doing this please. I have tried a couple of approaches, but keep messing up the formatting of the table content. For example some table rows are increased in hight. I am quite new to Flare, so may b...

Thanks both. I meant searching for the string that is inside the <title> tag of the topic. So you have answered my question. Much appreciated.

Hi, Is it possible to search for a topic in Flare using the title of the topic, rather than its name. I assume so, but cannot see how to do it. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks a lot. Sounds good.

Thanks very much for your insights. Did you have any problems with the CSS file? For example, did the table styles import OK? I was just wondering if I might have to apply table styles differently in Flare. Cheers.

We are planning to move our Online Help from RoboHelp 2017 to Madcap Flare, and wondered if anyone could share their experiences of doing this. It would be good to hear of any common problems or gotchas. Thanks very much for any advice.

Hi. In the HTML5 Side Navigation skin, you can expand folders using an arrow icon. This is to the right of the folder. Does anyone know if it possible to display this arrow on the left please? I think this would look better. I was wondering if there is a setting in the GUI that controls this. I am u...

Thanks very much for this.

I have a search bar at the top of each topic, which is defined in the master page. This typically works OK, but when I click on a link to bookmark in a topic, the linked-to topic is obscured by the search bar. Is it possible to move this topic down a little so that the required content is not obscur...

In the HTML5 output, could anyone advise how to make the the width of the TOC flexible? I would like the user to be able to drag the side of the TOC to increase its width. Thanks

Hi. Thanks very much for your post. It was really useful. I added the "position:fixed" code to CSS as a paragraph style. I then associated this style with the relevant paragraph on the master page, for the button. The fix works perfectly.

Thanks very much fro the post. This looks promising.

I need to add a link to each topic that goes to the top of the topic. I have done this on the master page, but the link is is permanently at the bottom of the page. Can I change this so it is always displayed in long topics, regardless of whether you have scrolled to the bottom of the topic.

Could someone tell me how to add icons to the TOC in HTML5 for each topic. I would also like to move the arrows for each folder to the left of the folders, rather than the right. I have specified the following settings in the Side Navigation skin but they had no affect. PlusMinusSquares="true&q...

Thanks for your reply. This is actually for a second image in the header that goes to the startup topic. I have just got this working by adding a URL to this topic in the master page.
Cheers, Mark

I have a "Home" image on the header in the HTML5 target. Please could someone explain how to add an an event to this image? When the user clicks it, I would like the Home page and TOC to be displayed. I assume this is a common thing to do, but I can't see where it is done. Thanks for any a...

Does anyone have experience of using Etteplan's HyperSTE tool with Flare? Understand this tool integrates with Flare and allows you to conform to STE (Simplified Technical English) writing requirements. Thanks for any comments.
