5.0.
More than one master page. Different master specified in target, but apply the one in question to many pages individually.
One stylsheet.
Modified the hyperlink styles in default medium.

Are you saying you want me to open the master page and stylesheet with internal text editor, copy code and ...

Forgive me for getting ahead of myself. Guess I assumed it'd worked.

I'd been testing one help topic, applying and re-applying the master page each time I fiddled with what I believed were the correct styles and properties, and nothing was working.

After opening the stylesheet in the internal ...

That did the trick. I conveniently ignored the order on first try. Sorry about that. An odd thing, though, having to do it that way; never would have figured it out without your help. Many thanks.

Thanks. I created a custom <a> class, added to the pseudo classes the color I wanted, saved, applied the class to the link, saved and built. But the link remains blue. I must've missed a step in there somewhere. If willing, please advise once more.

I've inserted a javascript link in a master page. The link is blue, but I need to change the color. I've tried changing the colors of the Script and Span properties in the stylesheet, but the blue refuses to go away. Anyone out there able to point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Bullseye. "Text decoration" was exactly what I needed. Thanks for the prompt response.

Created a new toggler style, would like to turn off underline in output, but can't find the correct property. Any help? Thanks.

Good deal. You've been most helpful.

Thanks for sharing your expertise. I certainly don't know my way around javascript, but you've given me something I can take to someone who does.

By the way, in case I'm asked, where, exactly, is the script supposed to go?

Thanks, again.

I know it's been discussed before, but I can't find it: open a dropdown and click a link in the dropdown that takes you to another topic. When you go back to the original topic, the dropdown is closed, of course. Is there a way to keep it open?

For me, Mimic's Flash output in v. 2 is a big disappointment.

Just wanted to make sure. Doubt we'll use Mimic, then. Thanks for the response.

I work daily on a large WebHelp file that is incorporated with our software. A while back, my company purchased a license for Mimic v.2, but we have yet to incorporate movies in the help.

My question: if I want a customer to be able to click a link to a movie and have it work without first having ...

Bingo. That appears to have done it. Hats off to you.

Just upgraded from 3.1 to 5. Below is a characteristic error message received after a build. I removed the topic from the Alias file and the header file, saved and built, but the message remained. I then re-added the topic to the Alias file, with the same result:

"Compiler: Alias: Topic identifier ...

Very sorry, but I was with another writer, discussing this problem, and had left open the Edit Reply window, because I wanted to tell you the files in fact are in the SkinSupport folder ... I think: SkinSupport Folder.jpg
As soon as I clicked Submit, I saw your response. Sorry, again.

Update ...

Yes, I deleted the output folder. And I found the MadCap.css and MadCapAll.js files in the output. Are they supposed to be in the SkinSupport folder?

And yes, I created a breadcrumb master in a test project, and it appeared to work fine.

Sorry about that. You're right, it was the file path (I took the liberty of editing it for TV, so to speak, thus the periods).
I've updated the second image from the previous post here: Breadcrumb Source_3.jpg
The first image from the previous post was taken from preview mode, which contains the ...

Opened stylesheet in internal text editor, noticed nothing hidden.
Source code of page that should have breadcrumb but doesn't: Breadcrumb Source_1.jpg
Stylesheets and javascripts refrenced at top of page: Breadcrumb Source_2.jpg
Unless I misunderstand your reference to an inline style in the html ...

Created the master page named Breadcrumbs and removed the appropriate proxies: Set the mc-master-page attribute: In the WebHelp target, set the Master Page field to default.
Built help file. No breadcrumb in output:

Wow, I hope you're richly rewarded for all of the detailed, clearly communicated help you provide. As soon as I'm able, I'll go through the steps you've provided and report back. The last half of your last paragraph, in particular, has me wondering.

Thanks, Lisa. Below is a shot of the Project Properties screen. Should I be looking elsewhere? Project Properties.jpg
Yes, there's more than one master page; the correct one is being called in the target. Below is a shot of the master page selection in the Target, same as it's always been: Target ...

As mentioned in earlier post, just upgraded from 3.1 to 5. Big, fat project, working way through growing list of little problems. Here's one:

Breadcrumb master page is broken on all post-v5 topics. Breadcrumbs all appear incorrectly in Preview mode and not at all in output. Still fine and dandy on ...

Yes, by the time I'd posted message, had deleted output folder but still received same message. In the meantime, another writer found pages that apparently contained stuff v5 didn't like and was able to make corrections. Build works now, though with a handful of those "Generating alias file ...

Just upgraded from 3.1 to 5. Big help project, several problems already. Will start here:

When trying to build, receive the following error: "Internal error: object reference not set to an instance of an object."
