I've got 'use lowercase filenames' selected in my webhelp target, so my resources folder in the output directory is lowercase, but the stylesheet links are still uppercase (<link href="../Resources/stylesheets/audinate1.css" rel="stylesheet" />).

This is a bit of a pain when we publish to a linux ...

Would anyone know how to change the cursor to a hand cursor when you mouse over the company logo at the top right of the webhelp skin?

I've set it to link to our website (using the OnClikc property) but without a cursor change, people won't really know that it's a link.

cheers

I have a webhelp project with a TOC that is broken down into 3 sections.

A few of the topics in the project are included in all 3 toc sections (because they're identical).

However, with TOC synchronisation on, when I navigate to the first instance of the shared topic (in the first section of the ...

Nope, I haven't used any custom code.

The toolbar was there initially by default (if I remember correctly) so I deselected all the buttons so it wouldn't appear (this was before I knew I could take the proxy out of the master page).

Does anyone know of a way to modify an imported file without breaking the import link?

I have a skin which I use across multiple projects, so it's maintained in a global project & imported in to the product-specific projects.

However, for one product I want the skin to be slightly different (I ...

When I hover over the iframe entry for the topic toolbar in FF / firebug, I can see where it should be (see attached).

But I'm still perplexed why it should be [visibility: hidden] when I open the individual published file from the content folder, and [visbility: visible] when viewed as part of the ...

Did you set the "position" parameter on some object? - nope
Did you disable a class or a tag in the stylesheet? - nope
Did you add a javascript or an onload parameter in the body tag? - nope
What Flare version do you work with? - 7.1.0

Oh and: Can you open the files in Firefox? I'm asking ...

There's nothing in my stylesheet against MadCap | topicToolbarProxy. there's no attribute for visibility either.

So it's not being hidden in the css, or in the master page, or in the skin, as far as I can see.

Aha! it's set to invisible, for some reason:

<iframe id="mctoolbar_178384554_0" name="mctoolbar_178384554_0" title="Toolbar" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width: 100%; height: 28px; visibility: hidden ;" allowTransparency="true" MadCap:buttonItems="PreviousTopic|NextTopic" src="../../Skin ...

The xml in the skin is:

<TopicToolbar
EnableCustomLayout="true"
Buttons="Back|Forward|Home|PreviousTopic|NextTopic" />

looks ok to me. stumped

I also tried the 'show navigation link at top of topic' and same for 'bottom of topic' in the skin editor (webhelp setup tab) but I'm not seeing those either.

I have a master page that includes a topic toolbar proxy, and I've selected some buttons to include in the topic toolbar in the skin editor (topic toolbar tab), but I'm not seeing any topic toolbars in my webhelp output.

Has anyone else come across this?

Solved, I think - it seems if you have previously indented a table left, and then reset the alignment to 'default', Flare does not remove the margin-left:0 from the table tag in the topic code, so you have to edit in the text editor to remove it manually.
Then the css margin works.

I've noticed with table alignment set to left in the table properties, it inserts: style="margin-left: 0"

Would this override the css in the table stylesheet?

I have a dedicated table style (implemented using a table stylesheet) with margin-left of 15mm set in the general tab.

I have nothing set for the table element in the default stylesheet css.

When I insert a new table using the dedicated table style, I get no indent. I've tried alignment default ...

I had to add minitoc styles to override the flare defaults.

The topics in my webhelp that are associated with toc books, when published, include a list of the topics that reside under that toc book. Like a mini-toc for that section of the toc.

I quite like it, but I can't find out where to edit the styles (as you can see in the attached screenie, my visited ...

That works a treat, thanks very much.

I need a note style with an image prefix (a little i icon in a circle). So I've created a list item using a custom image.

However, I sometimes will want to insert that into numbered lists. How can I prevent the image note style from incrementing the list number?

I've tried stopping the list ...

Also, something else that's confusing me - I created a class for <a> - let's call it a.class1 - which is in my default stylesheet, but when I try to delete it, I get a message saying 'the style a.class1 cannot be removed since it is inherited and not defined in this stylesheet'.
Most likely you ...

Ok, thanks for all the info guys.

[Aaahh, DTDs... the good old days :]

Margin-left didn't work for me either (with align=left) but padding-left did.

Ignore that, I just deleted it from the css. It does seem bizarre though.

Ok thanks Lisa. When you say generic classes, what do you mean by that? are those classes that can be applied to any element? as in when you create a class, edit the css & remove the parent (e.g. create p.class1, then delete the p in the css so you're left with .class1)?
