Problems displaying imported Frame list items and menu proxy

Post by carrollk »

Hi,
We are in the process of importing our Frame content to Flare 11 and we are having problems with how our bulleted and numbered lists display when there is a menu proxy (mini TOC) on the right side of the page (see attached screenshot).

The Flare import process does not support mapping numbered lists from FrameMaker to CSS list item li styles. Therefore, our list items use classes of p rather than the standard li styles. These classes have an autonumber property (mc-auto-number-format) that adds the appropriate bullet or number. When Flare generates the output, it transforms the mark-up of these lists and displays them as tables.
Because these tables have a width of 100% (see code sample below), they display below the menu proxy.

<table class="AutoNumber_p_Bullet" style="width: 100%; margin-left: 0;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<col style="width: 0px;" />
<col style="width: 30.23616px;" />
<col style="width: auto;" />
<tr>
<td valign="top" />
<td class="AutoNumber_p_Bullet" valign="top"><span> • </span>
</td>
<td class="AutoNumber_p_Bullet" valign="top" data-mc-autonum=" • "><span class="menu">Department</span>: Click the <span class="menu">Search</span> icon to select a department.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="AutoNumber_p_Bulletend" style="width: 100%; margin-left: 0;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<col style="width: 0px;" />
<col style="width: 30.23616px;" />
<col style="width: auto;" />
<tr>
<td valign="top" />
<td class="AutoNumber_p_Bullet" valign="top"><span> • </span>
</td>
<td class="AutoNumber_p_Bullet" valign="top" data-mc-autonum=" • "><span class="menu">Report By: </span>Select a time frame to group the results by.</td>
</tr>
</table>

This issue does not occur for standard li styles. Is there any way that we can fix this for our current content or do we manually need to convert all our bulleted and numbered lists to the standard li styles?

Thanks,
Karen

Just a suggestion. Can you do something to prevent the style of the table being "style=100%"? It should be "auto" if anything. Try modifying your CSS for the table tag and see what happens. (This might not work, but someone clever might be along soon to sort things out for you if it doesn't.)

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Unfortunately that table style isn't in our style sheet so we can't edit it there.

Hi Karen,

I am experiencing a similar issue with top navigation. Did you receive any further information on this?
