CSS Location Problem (ms-its:)

Post by andyr »

Hi there, I'm Back! Long time no post, sorry about that - crazy busy here.

I have just upgraded to 3.1 (from 2.5) I know behind the time.

But this has introduced a problem.

It seems that the generation of HTMLHelp now adjusts the css location - quite sensibly adding ms-its:HELP.chm::/ before the location.

However I was already doing this manually and can't easily remove it from all my help files. If I do Flare seems to assume I have a css in each of my folders.

Is there any way to stop Flare from adding this text to the css link tag:

<link rel="StyleSheet" href="ms-its:DPM.chm::/Getting_Started/digita.css" />

Help!

cheers all.

Hi, Andy,

This earlier thread may help:

Losing stylesheet properties when printing

If you install patch PATF3102 ("Patch for HTML Help Issues in Flare 3.1") or PATF3103 ("Patch for Popup Window Issues in Flare 3.1") then you should have an extra checkbox in the Advanced tab of the target editor. Unchecking this should stop Flare from using the ms-its protocol in Link elements.

Pete
