Has anyone had this problem before - note the breaks in the table borders.
All of my cell paddings are set to 0. My cell borders are collapsed. What other settings could be affecting this?

Output is a Word target.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this? I didn't immediatly see any other similar posts. I also need my users to click a link from within a drop-down, and then be able to click back into the same place into the expanded drop-down.

Lisa, I finally got a chance to try this (meaning the phrase "complex selector" scared me and so I procrastinated), and it worked. And was a lot simpler than I thought. The one thing I noticed, though, is that viewing a topic with tables in preview takes a lot longer now - I'm guessing bec...

Nevermind - this didn't work after all. If I add padding to the cell, then anything I type in the <td> tag lines up correctly, but as soon as I do a carriage return in the cell, everything goes to a <p> tag, and it adds the <td> padding to the <p> padding, and so everything is still skewed if I have...

It worked! Thanks a bunch, David!

Hello - I have been trying to encorporate the script example in the KB document GEN1013-F Adding an Email Link to Every Page in your Output into my new Flare HTML Help template, and discovered this issue with the last line of the script: document.write ("<a href="+ docfdbk_a + docfdbk_b + ...

OK, this sounds good. I'll try it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Is there any way to print out a list of all of the settings in a style sheet? I am creating a fresh style sheet for our new documentation season, and we have two or three style sheets that we used last year. I would like to lay out the settings for each style sheet side-by-side. If I can compare the...
