If the style sheet is set in the Project Properties dialog or Target file, the style sheet drop-down will be grayed out/disabled when in the Topic properties dialog.

This might help:

Within the skin, you should be able to specify it under Styles > Menu > 1st Level > Font > Color for the first level of menu drop-down.

Update: Oops. This is assuming you're referring to the TopNav drop-down menus...

According to the Flare help, Next Topic and Previous Topic are not supported in the TopNav output. Here's the help topic; you'll have to click on "WHICH OUTPUTS SUPPORT WHICH BUTTONS?" to see the list.

No, if you're using the top nav skin, then you just add your script directly to your master page or topic - Kathryn is on the right track.

The skin toolbar script is only for tripane HTML5 skins, not the top nav skin. In a tripane output, the skin toolbar script is run by the file Default.htm ...

Glad it's working! Sorry, my previous post wasn't very clear.

You're right; this tab is not available in the new "Top Nav" skin. You have to create a new, separate "Toolbar" skin file in your project and then you can access the Setup tab in the Toolbar skin file that has the "Custom JavaScript to ...

You can add it to the new Flare 11 Toolbar skin file. On the Setup tab of the Toolbar skin is the "Custom JavaScript to include in Toolbar page" option.

We do something similar to kwag_myers too.

Not sure if this helps with your issue, but we have found that we often have missing spaces between words when inline formatting (bold, italics, span tags, etc.) is applied to one or more words. In the XML editor, it can be difficult to visually determine ...

Another option is to use the master TOC to generate multiple PDFs based on where the chapter breaks are assigned. From the Flare help:
If you are generating PDF output directly (rather than going through FrameMaker or Microsoft Word to produce it), you can split the generated output into multiple ...

We have a couple of PDF mediums in our stylesheets for our various PDF page sizes.

For our 8x11 PDFs, the body frame in the page layout is 7 inches wide, so I added the following to the .css for this medium:
img
{
max-width: 6.50in;
}

I originally had the max-width equal to the width of the ...

I haven't actually tried this, but I think snippet conditions might get the result you want:

Oops, went to add a note about using the Index Window to delete them, and then realized ChoiccieMuffin already provided the same information. Ignore.

I reported this issue to TS in February, as I noticed in when testing IE8 & IE9, using Flare 9.x and Win7-64. It was logged as bug report number 86575. But in my case, clicking the Back button once returned to the home page, while clicking it twice returned to the appropriate topic.

I might be way off base, but another factor to consider for multi-line paragraphs in Flare tables is that when you have a carriage return in the table cell, Flare automatically converts it from a "td" or "th" tag to a "p" tag. In this case, whatever settings you have applied to your default ...

The Div says to break, and I told it not to. What's the point of having the style editor when it won't pick up in the code. I know I changed that.

I've noticed that happen for me in the past too when using the GUI to edit the .css. I tend to use a text editor for the most part.

Yeah, I recently ...

Random guess - in your stylesheet, does the div style have "page-break-inside: avoid;" applied to it?

*Edit*: The above guess assumes that the generated TOC exceeds one page in the output.

I'm having the same problem in my published WebHelp output in IE only, and I've had to resort to use of a graphic for the copyright symbol. Does anyone have a solution?

The symbol displays properly the first time the page is displayed, but if you navigate away and return, it is accompanied by ^A ...

Once you perform the initial Import, you should just be able to just save the Import file and click the Reimport button within it. But maybe I'm not understanding the question fully!

For our projects, we have the Global project and a companion template project. The template project has an Import ...

Another footnote bug I recently encountered is if using HTML5 and using the footnote feature in a table (rather than using cross-referencing or manual superscript workarounds), Chrome does not display the footnote number as superscript. Support has confirmed this is a bug.

I use divs for my notes, and use the following to control the background positioning. However, I haven't tried this when using a paragraph tag.
background-position: left center;

FWIW, here's the code I use for my div notes:
div.Note
{
color: #000000;
border-bottom: solid 1px #000000;
border ...

A few follow-up questions:

1) Are my steps for creating a master project sound?

2) When css (or other resources) tweaks are necessary in a child project (it won't be practical to edit the master), can I make the required changes and manually copy changed resources back to the master? At this ...

Hi! To cover this scenario, our projects are configured so that each modular topic uses an H1 heading, allowing us to mix-and-match topics for reuse without worrying about the heading level. Within the stylesheet, we still define the properties for the H2 - H6 headings for all mediums. For PDF ...

2. Assuming the above is correct, what happens when resources are edited in 770-00xxx_shortdocs ? I want those changes to automatically update in the Glb_project .
.... And conversely, what if images in the Glb_project are updated? I think this is handled in the Target by checking, Automatically ...

Hi sdcinvan! I'm glad this post has been helpful. I love the global project linking feature, because it has greatly reduced the duplication effort and human error on my part!

I am still involved with these projects - funny timing too, as I'm in the process of streamlining our existing GPL ...

I tried using SVG images, and they built beautifully in print but do not show up at all in my HTML5 output even after configuring the target settings and installing Java.

Hmmmm.

Hmmm indeed! A few guesses/questions:
- Did you clear the browser cache and use CTRL+F5 to perform a refresh after ...
