PDF Output has affected my HTML5 output [FIXED]

Post by M33R4 »

My project HTML5 output was behaving well - images were displaying as thumbnails, my DIVs were aligning stuff correctly, my formatting was on point.
Then I added a PDF target, adjusted the Medium PDF in my stylesheet and now my HTML5 is not displaying as before. :cry:

Did you make any changes at all to the default medium in your stylesheet? It's really easy to do by mistake when using the stylesheet editor, so I suggest you do a comparison between the stylesheet when it was working nicely and the stylesheet now when it isn't. Other than that, I can't think why there would be a problem now.

I only made changes to the Medium:Print side of the stylesheet.
What else, apart from Stylesheet, do you think could be responsible for the issues?

If you made the changes "by hand" in the internal text editor or some other text editor, rather than in Flare's Stylesheet Editor, you may have introduced a syntactical error. Try to open the stylesheet in the Stylesheet Editor. If there is invalid syntax, Flare will alert you, even telling you (generally) where the fault lies.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Thanks everyone for your much-appreciated help. In this case, it was human error - somehow I managed to assign the wrong stylesheet to my HTML5 output. :oops:
