4.1.2 and patch issues - CSS not applying changes

Post by Tekwriterman »

Ok what gives?

Now that I've installed the latest (4.1.2) and the small "patch" (repair), it doesn't matter what I do to any style in the CSS, no changes are applied...of course this wouldn't be happening if I didn't have a deadline looming ;0)

Should I go back to 4.1?

Doh...too much cough syrup, disregard this post...

What type of output are you building?
Are you seeing the CSS changes in the XML Editor and Preview but not the output?
Do you have the same problem in a brand new test project?

I've just double checked here, and it's working for me, so I don't think it's a bug.

Double check that you are a) working on the correct stylesheet (I've seen situations where people end up with two stylesheets in their project after importing from Robohelp; their topics all point to one stylesheet, but they edit the other one and wonder why the changes aren't taking....) and b) that you have the correct medium selected (Flare likes to default to Print which is a problem when you are trying to work on online output).
Until next time....

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but surely that's not the latest version? There is certainly a 4.1.40 - see http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... =13&t=7839.

While on the subject, can anyone clarify the numbering...
