Dear Madcaps,

Can I introduce an icon in the menu bar for the last viewed page - in addition to the previous page in the TOC sequence?

Thank you.................... liz

Ok, so now fixed my problem by laboriously resizing outside of Flare.

The question is will this be 'fixed' in Falre, i.e. is there an intention to allow resizing images to work with image maps in HTML5?

hi dave,

You may have identified my problem as I am applying a style with a max width on it. rats!

Thank you...................... liz

thank you for the replies.

If they don't work in HTML5 and i change to producing Webhelp what likely impact wuold this have - aside from the maps working?

Thank you....................... liz

Hi madcaps,

I have a table that uses a table style that is 'striped'. Within that table some sells need a different look so for example i am using a list style to have bullets and with red text, i also need some rows to 'break' the striping rules and so have set the background to another colour ...

Dear mapcaps,

i am trying to implement image maps. i know there used to be some problems but I thought that was ages ago. I have found two problems:

1. I have several times defined image maps for an image but not all hyperlinks were available when I generated the output
2. I had one image with one ...

Hi Madcaps,

Has anyone ever done this? What I mean is image a table and what you can do is hide a column but show its there and expand if you want to see it. a horizontal dropdown if you like. This would be really handy when you have a lot of data and could allow the user to see what is necessary ...

Thank you, that's a relief I was sure I did it in the previous release.

I agree I think it's a bug, is raising it here enough or should I alert Madcap some other way?

Thanks..................... liz

Dear madcaps,

I want to have something like Madcap help in respect of images. This has a thumbnail that on click provides an expanded and floated view, another click will close the floating image. How do i achieve this, and do i need two different sized images or can I used one and size it?

thank ...

I had wondered what that was and planned to find out, now i know!

thank you

Dear madcaps,

I want my table indented by 40px. i thought I should use a dive and have the table inside. But how do I get the table in the div? Or is there another-better way?

Thank you,

Dear madcaps,

If I select an item from the sidebar menu it is highlighted and opens in the main pane. however if I then use the previous and Next buttons in the menu bar to navigate around the related item in the sidebar menu is not highlighted. is it possible to enable this behaviour?

Thank you ...

Sad that no-one seems to have any suggestions... surely i can't be the only one?

Dear Madcaps,

is it possible to specify that a chapter in the TOC is expanded when the site is loaded?

Thank you...................... liz

Dear madcaps,

Currently I see the standard "+" sign with my drop-downs. Where is this specified?
And when clicked it push down the content as expected but the heading jumps to the left margin and doesn't have a "-" which i expected it would to allow it to be collapsed. I realise the clicking the ...

Hi Kat,

I agree with Ramon but would be even stronger by saying that a naming convention is essential! What you need to think about is "how are you going to use the name" and therefore what information is important in the name. Apart from the obvious use of uniquely identifying the topic some uses ...

Dear Madcaps,

I got very excited about this as it may be a way to get Visio Diagrams into Flare. But maybe not....

I have generated a set of vision htm outputs fro Visio2013, works well, has hotspots that link and a menu in a left hand frame. So I tried to import it. The import ran, no errors ...

Dear madcaps,

I have a presentation authored in PowerPoint and need it to stay in that for various reasons of sharing and executing round the organisation. I also want to include it in my guide which I am building in Flare as online output. In a perfect world I would like to include a link to the ...

Very odd, somehow I had a dropdown without a header. I have unbound. All mended now

Hi Mapcaps,

Has anyones seen something like this?
Any suggestions? liz

Hi mapcaps,

I am using dropdown text. When in the editor it looks fine and conforms to the css rules. However in preview and in the generated output the dropdown header doesn't seem to follow the rules. In fact it's using the rules for a link. Why is this and can I override it?

Thank you ...

aha, I now understand what you meant previously !, and I have found the problem thank you

liz

This was problem previously and I gave up at the time and haven't needed to address it till now.

I am using the default Resurces\Images\Madcap\DropdownClosed.gif file. The image is fine if I open on it's own to inspect it. However on the page it becomes huge. Lisa suggested a couple of things but ...

Dear madcaps,
I have not set the style for my dropdowns but it seems to be adopting formatting from somewhere - some of it looks like hyperlink visited and not. Where are or what are the rules here?

Thank you........ Liz
