Thanks for that!

First, XRef is mostly used when you want page references in Print output to replace topic references in online output, so it doesn't apply here.

Now...

The Commissions TOC entry under Section A is linked to the same topic that the Commissions TOC entry under Section B is linked to? Is that correct ...

crdmerge

If you add more than one link in the TOC to the same topic, how is the system supposed to know which TOC link it's supposed to synchronize with? It will generally pick the top one, hierarchically in the tree.

You could create redirect pages that would appear elsewhere in the TOC, but whose only ...

Because I'm at GMT - 5:00?

I don't know why it's working, either; I just stepped through the path, deleting one thing after another until I got it to work. Also, I'm only using IE 8.

Sure would like to retain the currently active page, though...

I've had to modify the OnClick path for this button (removing "body.") because it was opening the entire frameset (multiplying the nav frame). I also removed the "/Content" since we "Do not use "Content" folder in output" for our merged WebHelp projects. This is what is working for me:

window.top ...

This might be an HTML Help issue, because in my WebHelp, the dropdown opens in "Search All" and in "Find in this topic". Sorry, but I can't seem to find anything in the help about this issue, either.

Good luck,

The variables I'm referring to are yours, as you stated in your initial post: "i call the filename variable." I believe that's your universe!

IE 8, Windows XP

Good luck,

I'm using Flare 7.2, and underscores work OK in similar types of searches (system parameters, etc.). (On a side note, periods do not, so the ".htm" wouldn't work.)

I suspect the variables might be in play, here.

Good luck,
Leon

Go to http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_list.asp , the W3 site, for info on styling lists. Use the "Try it yourself" feature to test all types of formatting possible in your style sheet (although I wouldn't recommend an image as list item marker, as they do). Once you have these set up, it's a simple ...

Ramon, on the Madcap announcement page for V7 ( http://www.madcapsoftware.com/products/flare/overview.aspx#introduction , they tout the following feature:

"Native Source Control Integration for Apache Subversion, Team Foundation Server and Visual SourceSafe: Native source control support means you ...

Ramon, the motivation was this: after several months of these ubiquitous update alerts, my boss decided to test the upgrade on a project copy (actually merged project). Had Madcap made any form of announcement that admitted they hadn't tested this upgrade themselves, he would have been saved quite a ...

Do not upgrade to SVN 1.7.1.22161 if you're binding Flare 7.2.0 and SVN! (Not sure if there are any issues if using SVN standalone.) This bug has been verified by the Flare developers and Bug # 46996 has been submitted.

Yes, the title is inside the <title></title> tags (inside <head></head>, whereas that topic header is more than likely inside <h1></h1> tags.

Good luck,

Use a redirect page in the TOC. Create a topic and strip everything in the GUI. In the text editor, add this line inside the <head> section, then add the topic to your TOC in place of the current link.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=pathname/MyPDF.pdf" /><title>My PDF</title>

In the third row, you say: "Due to a Flare bug there could still be some highlighting undetected in situations where there is additional character formatting."

I doubt that what you're showing is a Flare bug: I see a lot of those because much of our content is Word-converted-to-RoboHelp-converted ...

* 120mm = 4.7244 in.
* Mixing em & pt heights is probably not good.
* min-height might not be the best way to do this.

You might do better if you set your style for the image only, no matter where it appears (list or not).

Setting this class for the image:

img. bullet {
float: left;
padding ...

The confusion might be due to the fact that not all HATs implement the "mini-toc" feature in the same manner.

Flare = Automatically lists all topics (pages) under the current "book" topic (no reference to interior headers).

RoboHelp = Automatically lists all headers inside the current topic only ...

You can build output using multiple targets (in which you can Include/Exclude any number of conditions); you can also publish the output using multiple destinations (whether internal, for review, or external for final release).

The most work will be determining a structure wherein the conditions ...

FYI, the Search Filter feature does not currently work in a merged WebHelp setup (Flare support case 29847, bug #46601).

Just sayin'...

crdmerge

How about assigning a margin-right value to your h3 style (for print medium) that would allow for the width of the image plus a little padding?

Good luck,

Have you looked at the css z-index property, which specifies the stack order of an element?

An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.

Check this http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_z-index.asp web site and work with the "Try it yourself ...

How would I adjust this JavaScript to get the toolbar item to work in a topic toolbar? (It works fine in the WebHelp toolbar, as you already know, of course.)

This script is Expand[ing] All OK, but not opening the Print window.

For now, please ignore my recommendation (on 9/21) to use a delayed redirect page. Madcap support is still working (Case 29453) on why Flare disables the redirect entirely by turning the source "http-equiv" (dash) into the output "http_equiv" (underscore) if there is a delay in the content value ...

crdmerge

BTW, Dave, nessmonster said "I added the suggested Javascript code to my existing Print button and voila." There should be no problem using that default Print button method instead of your original copy/paste method, right?

Thx
