Have to disagree. eLearning quiz doesn't seem to work at all. I answer all the questions and get the error I haven't answered all the questions. This is with the default project out of the box. What's going on here? I see no way to fix this. Has anyone else seen this?

Update: 8/16/2021:I tried this ...

Wow! past vs paste. That's nasty. Thanks for sharing.

My team has concluded this is not ready for use yet. If more features are coming that's great but for now we will not use this.

I plan to make a request to control stemming. That's absolutely needed to get better results.

I agree with you; there's no way to know what the user will search for. But I have more information on this:

It seems that the problem is with one word searches. When I use a single word phrase, I can get matches against words in multi-word phrases.

And the match doesn't need to exact because it ...

I'm hoping that there's an answer for my issue, but I don't see one at the moment.

The problem is the way Flare treats the micro content phrase. It appears to be stemming when it shouldn't. If I have micro content with the word access in it, I get the snippet whenever I search for accessibility ...

While the fix you describe works well, it seems to break preview.

Any fix for that?

Why can't you use CSS properties to create a div with a multiple column layout and then put the list inside the div?

Or does that only work for web based output and not PDF or Word?

that seemed like a good guess, but it does not jump to the slide in the slideshow with the bookmark.

It goes to the right topic but not the right slide.

Is there any way to make a CSH call to a specific slide in slideshow?

We are really liking the new slideshow object but are fnding context sensitive call support would be very helpful.

Putting meta tags on the master page is only good when all tags apply to all topics. When that is not the case, you have to go topic by topic.

What I'd like to see is having some way to convert file tags in Flare to meta tags in the output.

One of the new features in HTML 5 is the abilities to make a csh call to search. But I don't see a way to apply the filter I have available from the search field.

Is it possible to do that?

I don't see any information on which versions of Flare I'd need if someone has an old version of Contributor.

For example, if I have Contributor 4 can I use Flare 9 with it or do I need to use an older version? If yes, Which version? Flare 8? Flare 7?

Any chance for getting Flare to run as an app under iOS or Android? Currently, Flare is the only app that prevents me from moving to a tablet at work.

I'm finding that Flare 9 takes much longer (say about a minute) to start over Flare 8.1. Why would that be?

Is there any way to repeat the index1 entry automatically so when the column of entries wraps to the next column or page I get an entries like this at the top of the next column:

entry-text (continued)

If I could do that in my PDF target, that would be great.

If that's not possible maybe the ...

In testing CSH calls I find that aliases and ID number work just fine, but a cshid to a file name does not. I just get a blank page as described in this thread. It looks like the feature does not work as advertised and it does not matter if the file is in a folder on the root or I link to anchor in ...

No, you've got this backwards.

In my topic, I've got h3 heads which become h4's in the TOC. I want to suppress these heads.

The CSS says to suppress all h4 heads and all p.TOC4 in the generated TOC.

There's a class on these H3s as well so I can suppress them from the TOC too.

But these heads ...

I've got the same problem and in Flare 8.

And yes, I'm using mc-heading-level: 0 to suppress h4 heads and yes I'm using "use TOC depths for heading levels" and the H4 in the TOC are showing when the CSS says to suppress them.

I am seeing this behavior in some projects and not in others.

I will see if importing content is the common element but I don't think so. If anyone has insight on how to stop Flare from adding empty xmlns attributes please post here but I keep removing them and they keep coming back.

It appears the Flare 8 webhelp output is more accessible. JAWS testing reads the frameset better than in Flare 7 from what I can tell but I will have others verify that.

However, the drop-down control is still missing a way to define alt text for its two states and the thumbnail images do not ...

They are local to the machine. We are thinking it is a memory problem. That with Outlook and Flare open at the same time bad things are happening in low memory situations.

we've added 4GB to the computer. If the problems go away, I'll report back with that information.

Is it? Not in my experience. More importantly, it renders Flare completely unusable.

We have confirmation that the window resizes correctly in Firefox on the same machine. So it is probably a browser setting or a bunch of browser settings. We will investigate further. Thanks for the info on this.

We've gotten a report that automatic resizing the webhelp window is not working in IE 9. We don't have a lot of experience with that since the browser is only available for Vista and Windows 7 and Windows 7 computer are just making their way into the company.

Is this a bug or could there be another ...

Well as it turns out the user profile is being corrupted. We are not sure why? Would DotNet be the culprit there?

We have Flare on a Windows 7 box and it keeps failing. One day it works and the next it does not.

We see no reason for this and the fix is to re-install Flare.

Why should this be? Could it be a Windows 7 problem? A Flare 7 problem? A hardware problem?

Any ideas or suggestions welcome.
