Many thanks!

Hi there,

I produce webhelp output from Flare and just updated my stylesheet and skin for it. Everything looks great but one bit of bevaviour has changed and I can't figure out why.

Previously, when you did a search and selected the topic you wanted, if you then clicked the TOC, the TOC would open ...

Hi there,

I'm looking for information about creating a totally custom front-end for "web help" authored in Flare version 5. I'm working on a project where the traditional 3-pane webhelp look and feel isn't appropriate. The project team wants to go with a custom webpage type look with a search and ...

Ah yes you were correct. The file didn't upload but once it did my TOC looked as I wanted it too. The index however, remains an issue. It seems that the MadCapAll.js file only changes the TOC settings. Is there possibly another file for the Index?

Many thanks!
Paula

I spoke a tad too soon. It did work however, when I upload the published files to our website, the red colour comes back! Any ideas on that?

Thanks,
Paula

Ah yes the new file worked. Thanks!!!!

hi David,

I followed the instructions in that kbase and nothingchanged. My hover colour is still red and when I view source on that frame it says that it's still red:
a:hover
{
color: #ff0000;
text-decoration: none;
}
But the colour in MadCaptoc.js is now #FF8C00 (dark orange)
Any ideas?
Cheers ...

Oh I see, darn...Okay thanks David I'll have a look at the kbase for workarounds.

Cheers!

The list always starts at 1 (which is good becasue that's what I want), but it never restarts within a single topic. I noticed when I looked at the text view the numbering is restarting as I expect, but in the xml editor it isn't.

I have attached images of the numbering in the xml editor and then ...

Oh, I realizerd I didn't tell you what I'm trying to edit.

For the TOC, I'm trying to do the following:
• increase the space between the chevron and the text
• Have the green entries be underlined
• Change the hover colour so it's not red

For the Index, I'm trying to change the colour of the ...

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your explanation - it's helpful for me to understand what happens when I publish.

Okay, what I am trying to do is change the formatting of the items I have circles in the attached screenshots. the skin editor doesn't seem to have options for these items. When I view the source ...

Hi there,

I'm trying to format the look of TOC, Index, and Search results in my web help output. The only part I can't figure out how to do is get rid of the stylesheet that seems to get generated when I build the ouput. I want everything to default back to my main stylesheet. Ther eason I think ...

Hi there,

Thanks!

Thanks Hobbes! I'll use that workaround. I'll also submit a feature request.

HI there,

I'm trying to make some changes to the TOC, Index, and Search results in my web help output. I learned how to do basic formatting from another post in this forum (thanks guys!) but I am still trying to figure out how to underline entries and change the hover colour. I haven't been able to ...

We are still have the circular login issue with version 2. I would love to use this feature but currently am unable to. Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks!

Any help would be apprediated.

Thanks!

That's a good idea! I'm going to try it.
Thanks for the tip!

Thanks. That's too bad. I did see that option but because it can only do a solid colour it's not what I was looking for. Good to know that you can't do it.
Cheers,
P

That's where I've been searching...also in the Help topic regarding these settings. I haven't found anythig yet. If anyone knows which setting it is let me know.

Hi there,

I need to customize the background colour/gradient of the navigation frame in my webhelp output. Is there a way to do this?
I've included a screenshot to indicate the area I'm talking about (not sure if I've used the right terminology).

Hi there,

I've just started using the Feedback Service so I apologize in advance if this is a really silly question.

I'm looking at the Search Phrase window and want to know if there is a way for me to see the date the last time a particular search term was last used. What I'm really getting at is ...

Gotcha. Thanks very much!

P

Thanks. I'm not quite sure if this will help me, but I" probably just missing something.
Will these options take care of the following scenario?

I have a style called p.BO_Body in my stylesheet. I have a style called p.Body in my new stylesheet. I want all current instances of p.BO_Body to have p ...
