MadCap Software Forums

Does MadCap have any plans of improving the behavior of these pages? Even the page header is getting reloaded on every click in the nav pane. This is a bad user experience - it feels like using an HTML page from the 90s.

I just did this out last week and here is what worked for me: * Added PDF files to the Content folder of the help project. * Created hyperlink to the PDF file. I chose link to a File in Project and I found that it was important to choose the Target Frame as Same Frame or it didn't work. * Distribute...

There are no error messages when viewing the website in a browser.

I’m using the Jump button (set in the skin) to link to a website from a CHM help file. This was working fine until the website was changed. I have updated the URL in the skin, but now when you click on the jump button in the compiled help file a script error appears. If I click on Yes or on No, a ...

This issue has been corrected. In case anyone else expereinces this problem, here is the solution that worked for me: The following changes were made to the MadCapBody.js file in C:\Program Files\MadCap Software\MadCap Flare V3\Flare.app\Resources\WebHelp\Content\SkinSupport\: There is a block at li...

I should have added to my original post - the links go to places in drop-down text. Do you think that could have an impact on the display? Also, I have been having others try the links. For some folks, the text doesn't even go to the top of the page the first time it is accessed and it works incorre...

I've found that an odd thing is happening with cross-references in the .chm file. I can click a link and I am taken to the related topic. The relevant information starts at the top of the window like I would expect. However, if I then click the back button to go back to the original page and click s...

It doesn't appear that the following can be customized for the DotNetHelp viewer, but I thought I would check in with you all just to be sure. I would like to: * Remove the glossary button * Remove the favorites accordion item (I've removed this in my skin, but it doesn't impact the viewer) * Change...

Thank you for your suggestions. I've managed to eliminate all problems except the odd spacing in the steps. This margin problem occurs in all topics and occurs when I build the project, not just in the preview window. I've tried your suggestions, but so far I haven't had any luck with this last issu...

Unfortunately, I haven't found that the solution is that easy. Here are some examples of the strange things I'm experiencing: How the steps look in the XML editor: steps.gif How the steps look in the preview (notice that the numbering now does not restart and that the spacing between steps 10 and 11...

Thank you for the suggestions. The setting had changed from Medium (default), but I had not noticed the change. Now that I know about the bug, I will watch out for this. I've been able to make most of the changes I needed to make; however, I do continue to have some strange results. The main problem...

I'm very experienced with FrameMaker styles, but am having a nightmarish time with Flare styles (I'm new to Flare). I must be misunderstanding something basic about how the styles work. Here are some examples of my problems: I change one aspect of a style and another aspect also changes; however the...
