Tabbed Content Using jQuery UI

Does anyone here have experience implementing the jQuery UI in Flare? I'm specifically looking for how to implement tabbed content. I have the code written ...and the links to the jquery ui css and the .js file - but nothing is happening.

Anyone?

As a bit of background, I've tried implementing ...

Re: Flare v6.1 and PDF Output

I talked with MadCap tech support on Friday about this. Luckily, I was able to reproduce the problem while Alvaro was watching my screen.

Anyway, he solved the problem by clicking Save All prior to building/viewing the output. It worked like a charm. This was done, of course, in addition to ...

Re: Flare v6.1 and PDF Output

Lisa,

I wish it was that simple. :)

Yes, I've had this happen off and on every so often....but since v6.1, it's been a real pain. Closing Flare and reopening doesn't do it...I now have to reboot my machine completely.

And with the time it takes to reboot the machine, I could go make a sandwich ...

Flare v6.1 and PDF Output

Hi all,

I installed Flare v6.1 Wednesday, had a number of issues yesterday (install error and subsequent uninstall of v6 and reinstall of v6.1) - and today, I'm dead in the water regarding Flare output to PDF.

My problem: the first time I build (after a reboot), Flare builds PDF output no problem ...

Related Topics Control Pop up

Hi.

I'm asking about the little box that pops up when one clicks on the Related Topics on a webhelp page. Right now, when the box opens to show the related topics, the hover over color for one of those topics is an extremely blue blue. Gotta change that blue!

I have looked everywhere (including ...

Re: Best way to distribute Mimic movies?

We had a big debate about this in my office. We had to build an output that didn't require any installation of any kind because the military computers that were going to show the movies did not allow any downloads or installs at all.

The only option was Flash. And so far, it's worked well. We ...

Not only is this mouse pointer halo very distracting, it is orange. Thankfully the 70's are over where brown and orange were the hip colors - so I thought. The mouse pointer is already fairly obvious, especially since it is about the only piece that moves across ...

When I add a trajectory and play the frame back - there is a click at the beginning of the mouse ...

Re: Network error mesage

I'm getting this same error on my laptop at the office. I'm not using VPN or anything. While I can hit OK and continue using Flare - I would like to know how to tweak my system so this message goes away.

I'm also getting this error in Capture and Analyzer.

Suggestions?

There is this one block (technically a table in a div tag) that came over from RH that I'd like to replace ...

Re: CSS Message Keeps Popping Up

Thanks to both of you!

I'm finding a TON of inline styles - look like holdovers from RH or someone who created the help system didn't really understand the concept of a stylesheet.

Thanks again!

Re: Bullet Alignment Question

Laura,

Thanks for your input. You are correct - I should have set the list-style-position to 'outside' instead of 'inside.' Ryan, one of Flare's tech support Rock Stars :wink: :wink: , explained it this way:

Think of the list item text as a box. When you set the list-style-position to 'inside ...

I'm embarrassed to ask question - because I should know it - just having a senior moment.

How do I get the 2nd line of a bulleted item to align with the text in the first line? Right now, the text on the 2nd line is aligned with the bullet - and I don't want it that way.

OK - I figured out the problem!

Background - I'm in a remote office, away from the servers/network - so I have to log in to my local network, then log in to the main network to access the VSS dbs. We thought that may be a problem.

Here's what we did to troubleshoot things:

Pouliotmax,

What version of VSS are you running? Are you getting the error frequently or only during certain actions?

I'm trying to figure out if it's a version thing or maybe a setting thing on my end.
