Does anyone have some sample javascript code for reading a cookie when a WebHelp page loads?

When I place a dropdown in an <li> the collapsed state is visually fine. When the dropdown is expanded the bullet (unordered) or number (ordered) drops down near the bottom of the dropdown body. Is there a way through CSS or otherwise for the bullet or number to not move (ideally, not even flicker) ...

Has anyone from MadCap offered an explanation for the changes? Has anyone from MadCap documented these changes, making sure nothing is missing? Thank you.

FYI, this is still true. When I installed Flare v7 alongside v6 then installed Analyzer v4, none of the analyzing activity was occuring in either. Analyzer would load but appeared to have no project loaded. When I explicitly loaded a project Analyzer still looked like no project was loaded. When I l...

Rob, did you ever get your first column width problem resolved? If so, how? Thank you.

So does anyone have any CSS suggestions for ordered and unordered lists in the p.float next to img.right or img.left? Thank you.

Does Flare support assigning more than one (1) class name to an element, e.g. <p class="indent code"> or <span class="bold italic"> ? I have tried a few tests that did not work. According to http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.5.2 it should be possible. My CSS fil...

For the sake of thoroughness I will reset Layouts. However, this is happening since my harddrive was replaced last weekend and I installed Flare v6.1 fresh on Monday. Since the install I have not many Flare UI changes, including creating or saving any Layouts. But I think you are on the right track....

I wonder how much impact Analyzer's presence has on Flare. I suspect it frequently or constantly evaluates the current project to refresh its' metrics. Whenever I explicitly load Analyzer it always takes several minutes to refresh and the CPU spikes and the harddrive grinds during this refresh.

Happening more and more frequently in my project, while editing a topic (usually pasting content) Flare will generate an Unhandled exception overflow error. I can continue editing and save changes without corruption (I hope) but the UI will place a red x-ed box between the topic content and the &quo...

Here's a piece of gold I found at David Walsh's blog (http://davidwalsh.name/ie8-emulate-ie7) on how to force your web page to be IE7-compliant. I placed the following in the <head>...</head> of my MasterPage.flmsp: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> If...

It seems to be that IE7 doesn't like the color lightgrey spelled lightgray. To be safe I'm using #d3d3d3 instead and it works fine.

As a slight fork on this subject, I am using the non-scrolling region solution of a modified body { margin-top:...} with a fixed-region div and no changes to my MasterPage. What has me baffled is the fixed-region div has a light gray background (i.e. solid, not transparent) which renders as such in ...

I have

Code: Select all

body { overflow: auto; }

which seems to work.

* Is body the correct tag to place overflow in?
* How does overflow: auto; differ from overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: auto;?

Thank you all for your help.

Craig.Prichard

This only works for print outputs, and would not be suitable for help outputs. Although the text would be initially hidden when you view the topic, it will be displayed when you search for it; i.e. the hidden text will be displayed if it contains the search term. Correct. I should have also mention...

If I add any margin-left or padding-left to classes like MadCap|miniTOCProxy a horizontal scrollbar appears at the bottom of the content frame. No matter the width of the browser window before, during, or after the topic is rendered, the horizontal scrollbar is present and remains constant (by the a...

.Hidden { mc-heading-level: 0; font-family: Consolas, 'Lucida Console', 'Trebuchet MS', monospace; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 10pt; color: darkgreen; background-color: lightyellow; border: dashed 1px darkgreen; text-decoration: none; display: none; } Here is the generic cla...

I am using tables like this extensively: <table> <col /> <col style="width: 68px;" /> <tbody> <tr> <td> <h2 class="TopicTitle">Topic Title</h2> </td> <td> <MadCap:snippetText src="../Resources/Snippets/UI_Elements/page/ExpandCollapse.flsnp" /> <MadCap:snippetText src=&q...

Steve, I don't think the breadcrumbs' link colours have any bearing on the placement of the proxy on the web page. However, I did try. There was no improvement. It seems that Flare has a problem with: a[href^="http:"]. What bugs me is that I got this code from Scott Deloach's "Develop...

I want to have all local file links display green and all non-local links display in the default blue. a:link {color: #60C460;} /* Local links */ a[href^="http:"] {color: #0000ff;} /* Remote links */ My problem is that the presence of a[href^="http:"] in my CSS causes my breadcru...

I have a PDF target and a Word target for the same content. I have poured over the properties of each fltar file to match as many properties as possible (all the common ones I can figure out). My intention is for the two outputs to look as identical as possible. However, in several ways, they do not...

I like that UI and would like to produce similar. In the mean time, I'm settling for the Previous Topic and Next Topic toolbar buttons above the content pane. I know you can add a toolbar proxy to a MasterPage so I believe it is possible to create place a modified toolbar on every page. However, I d...

Craig.Prichard

I will be facing a similar painful experience with my project in a few days. Any guidance, particularly about how to make the PDF as robust and similar to the WebHelp as possible would be appreciated. Thank you.

Craig.Prichard

Is this still true as of Flare v6.1? I would like to traverse the TOC without firing off open book and close book events. Also, is it possible to configure the TOC to support the up/down arrows for vertical movement and the left/right arrows for opening/closing books?

Craig.Prichard

Would you mind posting the HTML for setting the class and calling the function? Thank you.
