Has anyone seen this particular issue? It's brought my work to a standstill at a critical time, and I need to resolve this to move forward. Just recently I've started to get error messages saying that Flare is out of memory. When I open any file in Flare, the memory use jumps into the range of gigab...

Can't you add the onLoad event to the body tag in the masterpage? That means it would load the script when each page loads, so you might want to create a second masterpage that has that onLoad event and only apply that masterpage to those topics where you insert the DIV and want the effect to appea...

That is, between each software release, we update the help topics to reflect the new and changed functionality, send it for a review cycle, then publish the whole thing on release day. Our goal is to start publ...

I had this issue too, at first. Instead of specifying which tags to include and exclude, specify only the tags to exclude. That seems to work for me.

This is my first web help site built using Flare 6. It's pretty vanilla-flavoured but it all works, as far as I know. There is also a toolbar link to a PDF version of the same guide, which also generated using Flare. http://www.sparkintegration.com/systembuildermanual/ Overall, I'm pretty pleased wi...
