You can open the stylesheet in the Internal Text Editor and just delete everything in it to literally be starting from scratch.
Gets my vote...
That way you don't have to worry about links within the project. :D

Are there any CSS editors out there that could help in building up a new stylesheet ...

I like the look. Still not sure speed has improved or gotten worse (the jury is still out on that one).

I've noticed that Flare 8 slows my system down. My mouse pointer stutters considerably, for example.

I am running Flare 7 (and 8) on Windows 7 under VMWare Fusion 4.1.1 on my MacBook ...

What would be the best way to ditch my current stylesheet and start over with a fresh one?

Should I simply delete the one that's currently in the /stylesheets folder and then create a new one, or is there a better method?

Thanks for your input.

Either get rid of them or offer a frameset-less target? My IT department hates supporting me due to Flare's use of framesets. In short, there a lot of technologies our backend supports that can't be deployed on my Flare site due its use of framesets.

I finally broke down and submitted a bug report. Tired of the hand editing after each and every output.

folder.props is a file which you cannot see in Flare, but in the normal Windows Explorer only. It might
a. simply not be there or
if you work with source control:
b. checked out by sb else or
c. not checked out and read-only.

I turned on the hidden files feature in Windows Explorer and was ...

UPDATE: I fixed it by showing hidden files in Explorer, then selecting Properties on the file and removing the checkbox on Hidden. Strange...

I am trying to set conditions on a folder. I press OK, then get the following error:

I launched Flare v7.0.1 and it told me that there was an update to 7.1, along with a list of enhancements.

I cannot locate this list anywhere else. Clicking the WELCOME TO MADCAP FLARE V7! link in the Start Page sends me to a generic v7.0 new features page; nothing specific to 7.1.

Can someone ...

It would actually be but that might have just been a typo on your part.

Ignore the comma. I should have used the Code font to show that I used and not , . :D

Anyway, all is well for now. I just have to edit the the JS and XML files by hand after output. From what I've read, XML does not like ...

I don't know if it matters, but the appropriate space character is ALT + 0160, which results in in the code.

That works, but with one caveat: The has to be handcoded in the output by editing the Stylesheet.js and Stylesheet.xml files. Placing the code in the Label field (Skin>Styles>AccordionItem ...

Yes, that worked in IE! I also tried using the &nbps;, to no avail.

Thanks!

Anyone? Bueller?

I removed the AccordionTitle text from the output by editing the Stylesheet.js and Stylesheet.xml files, and replacing the text with Alt+32 (space). However, the TOC fails to load in IE, although it works fine in Safari/Chrome. In IE, the text/space is replaced by 'null ...

does this help?

I can see it working, but my use/application of h1 tags hasn't been consistent. I'm afraid my results could potentially be chaotic. But your advice does send me in the right direction as far as finding a solution ...

Instead of the baked-in accordion labels, I have created some background images instead, with stylized text replacing the standard copy ('TOC', 'Favorites', 'Search', etc.) by using the BackgroundImage/BackgroundImageHover properties of the AccordionItem>TOC (and Search, Index, etc.) style of the ...

Is there a way to assign concepts to a large number of topics? What makes this even more difficult for me is that my topics are located in various locations within a deep folder hierarchy.

Dragging topics to the concepts window can only be done one folder's worth of topics at a time; conversely ...

Are you sure that it is exactly the same system? I'm wondering if a new graphics card driver might have slipped in. A long shot is to reinstall the .NET runtime. Seems to be a fix for all kinds of problems. Not sure if it will help here, but it might not hurt aside from taking way too much time (as ...

I have a new issue, which just cropped up with Flare 7. To set the baseline, my system hasn't changed one bit from when it ran v6 without this issue.

What happens is that the tabs in my Project toolbar start disappearing. They do, however, reappear when my mouse pointer hovers over them (or, where ...

My subject sums it up.

In my case, the cursor starts flickering when hovering over a popup window link, and Javascript errors start getting thrown.

In IE8 and IE9, it works if you use the Developer Tools and change the browser to IE7 standards.

This is output created with Flare v6/WebHelp. Mac ...

I am trying to read a user's cookie on page load. A user must login first before using the help system. The server issues a cookie, and in this cookie is a unique session ID.

And I just found out. The lastModified date is in fact the date when the project is build or previewed.

I am trying to change the look of the default Home button in the Mobile output. Can I replace it with a custom graphic?

How do I do that?

I use the Concept Links (Related Topics) in my WebHelp output. However, I am trying to prevent their presence in my Mobile output. However, I am not able to easily 'condition' them out of the Mobile output.

I can right-click on a Related Topics control on each topic. Considering I have hundreds of ...
