If I set the body of my project to have a max-width, the thumbnail pop-up images in the project don't maintain their aspect ratio when displayed/resized. The moment I remove the max-width attribute of the body, all's good with the images, but I don't want the body occupying the entire width of the s...

Figured it out. Set it in div.MCTopicContainer

Does anyone know how to set a fixed width/height for the pop-up generated by this script? <script> $( document ).ready(function() { $('.MCTopicPopupHotSpot').removeClass('MCTopic').addClass('MCTopicPopup'); }); if (window.self != window.top) { // topnav $('div.title-bar-container').css('display','no...

I'm a complete newbie with Lingo. I'm a technical writer that's been working with Flare for over a year, and with our online help project almost complete, I've started looking into the process of getting it translated from our outsourced translation partner. So here's what I've done and where I'm st...

Is there a way to replace thumbnail for an image popup with an icon instead?

I like the effect that image popups have, but I'd like to use an icon instead of the thumbnail.

Oh brilliant. Thank you.

During the build process, Flare converts all Madcap| prefixed tags/CSS into the actual tags/CSS used in the output. My guess is that the display attribute isn't converted into the output CSS - it's quite common for Madcap| styles to only support certain attributes, but unfortunately that's not docu...

My company is trying to have our online help work exactly like this (no multiple targets, content displays based on parameters in the URL). I'm the technical writer that's working on the online help using Madcap Flare and I have the support of the Dev team (they have no knowledge of Madcap Flare). P...

I've inserted the topic toolbar (Select Button only) onto my masterpage and aligned it to the right of the page. All's good except that the drop-down aligns with the left side of the button and is hence outside the visible screen (see attached screenshot). How do I get the drop-down to align with th...

Doh! Thank you for bearing with a stupid question. You rock Nita.

Is there anyway to change the font color of URLs in the breadcrumbs only (and not of all URLs in the project)?

Style any tag that is a named toggler target: [data-mc-target-name] { } Brilliant. I have a bunch of h3 headings in my project, some of which toggle the div below them. I wanted to change the left margin for the divs that are toggled and had tried h3 + div[target] which didn't work. data-mc-target-...

I need to include an attribute in a complex selector in my stylesheet but can't figure out how to do this in Flare. I know that CSS supports this by including the attribute and value within [], and I've tried including the same in the stylesheet using the internal text editor but I've had no luck. T...

Brilliant. Thanks Dave. There's a small glitch when you scroll down and then resize the window to the tablet view or vice versa (the icon disappears and reappears) but I can live with that.

I've used this code in my project after replacing div.body-container with .body-container. It works perfectly in the web view. The problem is the button doesn't display in the tablet view (when I reduce the width of the window until the side nav bar disappears). Any suggestions? JavaScript as separa...

I seem to be unable to change the background colour of the 1st Level Menu Item in the Top Navigation Skin. I've changed the background of the 1st Level under Top Navigation Menu and 1st Level under Top Navigation Menu Item (hover), but the 1st Level (also the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Level) under Top Naviga...

I've inherited a project (let's call it Project X) that required a few tweaks, and for some reason I simply cannot seem to get the mobile version to show in the smartphone view. When I go to Project > View Primary > View project > Smartphone, it shows me the web version with the menu items of the to...

The different sections of my page have togglers and bookmarks. I've noticed that if I put a bookmark within a toggle section, clicking on a link to the bookmark will toggle open the section but not scroll to that section of the page. However, if I place the bookmark just before the toggle section di...

Ooh. That worked brilliantly. Thank's Gene K.

For anyone that might find this post of interest, there's a slight mistake in step 3 of Gene K's instructions to be used in the Flare Stylesheet editor - I had to type div.tip instead of div.example.

This is my first time posting on the forum. I'm a new Madcap Flare user who's done some quick tutorials on css to help me in my technical writing. Just wondering whether what I want is possible in Madcap Flare. Among the div styles I've created in my project I have a div.tip which has a grey backgro...
