The headers are a web server config thing, generally speaking. Although there is a meta tag, from reading this page it seems the options are more limited than setting up the server to send the headers.

If there was a "like" button in this forum, I'd use it for your post Trent. Thanks very much.

It could be the inline style on the img. It sets a vertical-align, so you could try removing that or adjusting the number to see what happens.

Maybe caching and they have an older version of the site or some of the files are causing conflicts/confusion (this is usually related to the javascript files which are usually considered static content by web servers)?

They could try clearing the browser cache before each demo to see if that helps ...

Hmm I had this issue many years ago. I think maybe I added "overflow: hidden" to the note div style? But it was a long time ago so I could be mis-remembering.

If it's opening within the chm window then the message is probably correct as the chm window uses some form of Internet Explorer (maximum 9 maybe?) which I don't think Salesforce supports. Perhaps you could try forcing the link to open in a new window, to see if that opens your default browser which ...

You could try the following (the link image above has a name of 1f517.svg so I assumed that was the character code of the symbol).

In Word, in a new paragraph type 1f517 then press Ctrl+X. That should change the code to a symbol. Then copy the symbol and paste it into the Find dialog box/panel.

It ...

For - ahem - a competing product I got our IT guys to set the max-age property (server header) for the folder where the toc, index and search js files live to 7 days. It could also be 0 days to never cache. So it should theoretically be easy for the hosting company to set the same for the Flare ...

If your Windows Scale and Layout display settings are set to more than 100%, that might cause the issue.

Hmm not easily with what we've done so far I think. Perhaps we can try a different approach using flex?

Using the original css you posted, add the following to the div style:
display: flex;
justify-content: center;

Then in the :before style, add margin: auto 24px auto auto; and delete the padding ...

In the div.noteNOTES style, try adding a padding-left that's the total width of the "before" box (sum of the image width + left and right margin + left and right padding + left and right border width as applicable) plus a negative text-indent that's about half the padding you added. The padding ...

I believe this would be a window built into the application by your devs. This help window would display a webviewer (kind of a cut down browser). They would also code the application so that the help calls open in that application window.

There's information about who does what for CSH in the help ...

Perhaps runtime skins is what you are looking for? I haven't tried it, but do read the note right at the bottom of the topic, in case it applies in your case.

I can't see the images either.

Perhaps this thread could provide some help for your issue? The start is pretty old, but it might still be relevant.

Maybe there's a redirect htm file or javascript file that redirects to the website as soon as you load the help on your c drive? Or a meta tag like <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://example.com/" />?

If the idea is to paste a whole table into an existing topic, if the text file the developers provide included the table html tags then you could switch to code view to paste it. I'd insert a paragraph and single letter at the location and select the letter before switching to code view so the ...

The print medium is used by the browser when printing a web page (either to a printer to to some other output such as a pdf), as you have seen. You can't change the medium that the browser uses for this purpose.

Assuming you have specifically set up your print medium to suit your PDF Target, I ...

CSS-Tricks has a good article about font sizing:
https://css-tricks.com/accessible-font-sizing-explained/

tl;dr
Generally, leave the root pixel font-size as the browser default (usually 16px). Use em/ex/rem for everything except borders, for which you would use px instead.


This is an old ...

Also note, if you want to distribute your the font file with your help, using @font-face rather than one of the online repositories, you need to check if your license to the font allows this sort of distribution.

You might try playing with :target::before in your stylesheet. I'm assuming it's just the toggle text that is being hidden off the top of the visible page, not some heading that might be further away from the toggle.

The following code basically adds some invisible content in front of any bookmark ...

The UI Text entry for it is "Show Navigation Panel", but inspecting the Flare help it looks like it's only being added as an aria-label rather than also as a title (which the "Print" and "Remove Highlight" icons have, for example). I don't think there's anything you can change in Flare to fix it ...

If it's the skin that's missing, but the topic content looks all right, then I'd start by looking at the path to the skin folder. (I feel like I've seen other posts saying that it remained capitalised, even though the links were changed to lowercase, but I could be misremembering.)

The other option ...

There's a setting to limit the depth of the toc for Top Nav. I'm not sure if it would work for your setup, but you could see if you can set it to 1 and see what happens.

For Top Nav and Side Nav you should be able to enter a URL there as per this topic:

I'm not sure for Tripane though. You'd have to ...

This post suggests they're index keywords? I don't know why they'd add extra space in the output though.
