I am new to Flare and am starting a Help project that needs to run in Internet Explorer Embedded (See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... d.60).aspx). Unfortunately, this browser is very limited. It has some CSS support and some JavaScript support. It does not support CHM files. I put together a simple WebHelp sample, but the browser seems to get hung up on all the complex JavaScript and won't render anything.
I am wondering if there is a way to turn off some of the bells and whistles in Flare and generate a more simplified output. Basically I would like a standard Help layout and can avoid fancy dropdowns, etc. I would think that I could accomplish much of what I need through CSS and some basic JavaScript. Flare seems to add a lot of additional stuff by default, though. Is there a way to prevent this?
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Generate less complex WebHelp?
Have you tried the Mobile WebHelp output? That might be more lightweight.
Re: Generate less complex WebHelp?
Good suggestion but from what I can tell, I can't set up a stationary frame for the TOC/Index/Search. These items will always be on a separate screen, and the user would have to jump back and forth between them. Does that sound accurate? Maybe there is a way around this?
