Is anyone using Frame 9? Any issues importing to Flare?

pdxwordsmith

I think (but am not completely sure) that WebWorks' HTML provided hover text for the items in the TOC - the hover text showed the complete text of the item, rather than automatically scrolling right to show the end of the item. And, I believe you (as author) could control it (on or off).

I'd just ...

Thanks much!

pdxwordsmith

Exactly! I don't need to see the end of the item in the TOC - it's displayed in the content pane

I don't think it's a security issue. FF isn't preventing initial load of the frames - just reload when you click Reload or browse away and back.

The workaround that I found is to put your cursor in the URL field and press <Enter>.

Is this the same as Favorites in the WebHelp skin? (When I look in the Favorites directory (on WinXP), there aren't any from this year...) I'm wondering where the WebHelp Favorites go when you mark them...

pdxwordsmith

When I mark topics as favorites in IE, they aren't available in FF and they disappear when I rebuild (I think). Where are they stored? How many favorites can I have?

I'm using FF 3.0.6 - no updates available.

Import from Frame 8. Font changes (such as courier for code, blue for keywords) work fine in Firefox, but do not appear in IE. The font changes are character formats in Frame. Other font changes - implemented with paragraph formats - work OK.

For example:

In IE, the fonts ...

I get a bunch of these (maybe 10-12) when I use reimport, but no errors when I import as part of the build. The files are there and FM is happy, so...?

(Preface everything with "Importing from Frame, exporting to WebHelp")

I'm using auto-numbering on a paragraph to create nested lists.

In Firefox 3, my bullets look like: bullets-ff.jpg
In IE 7, they look like: bullets-ie.jpg

The stylesheet defines them using: â—
mc-auto-number-format: '{ }â— ';

Is this a known difference between the two browsers? What do other people use for bullet symbols so they appear more consistent ...

Is there a way to change the behavior of the Forward and Back buttons in the WebHelp toolbar? The Flare documentation describes them thusly:

Back Lets users open the topic that was viewed previously.
Forward Lets users open the next topic in a previously viewed sequence.

This seems unnecessary to ...

Open WebHelp created with Flare (generated from Frame, but I don't think that matters) in Firefox 3. Click the Reload button (or navigate to another URL - outside help- and back. The left (navigation) frame disappears. reload.jpg
Right-click on that pane and select This Frame > Reload Frame. Still ...

pdxwordsmith

Thanks. That's what we ended up doing. The Flare help suggests otherwise...

Using Greg's previous suggestion for non-breaking hyphens, I worked around this using an online-only PassThrough marker: ®

How do I implement these solutions in my Frame source?

I have cross-references in FM that have parts conditionalized for print-only. For example:
fm-xref-issues.jpg

The "in the ...." is conditionalized for print-only.

When I build with Flare to WebHelp, the output (sometimes) looks like:
xref-issues.jpg

I've checked the obvious (like paragraph ...

My registered trademark (R) symbol was working just fine. Then I upgraded to FM 8 and re-imported/generated help with Flare. Now, it looks like this (in the imported file and in the generated output):

It looks fine in FM and PDF generated from FM.

Help?

FM 8.0p266, Flare 4.1.40, WebHelp output

I added TopicAlias markers to the topics to hook up to the UI and Flare generated the .h and alias files perfectly. Then, I added a new TopicAlias marker to a heading early in the book. When Flare generated the new .h file, the new topic ID was inserted in ...

I decided to conditionalize and it works just fine.
