MS HTML Help (CHM)

I have a custom table inserted in the header of a master page and am stuck with the following problems. Has anyone been able to resolve issues like these?

  • Header disappears - The header is a table with a background image. When vertically expanding the CHM window downwards, the header disappears vertically downwards out of view as if some blank area is overlapping the header.
  • Flickering
    • When selecting topics in the nav bar, the Header flickers.
    • When resizing the CHM Window, the nav panel flickers rapidly.
  • Can't seem to control the borders of the topic window. I want to set the header completely flush with the top edge and the side edges of the topic window.
  • I would like to create buttons to go next and previous between topics according to the sequence of topics in the project. I am linking frame files and trying to set up a template with which to create projects and generate output from linked frame files with as little post processing as possible, so i want to avoid browse sequences which seem to require full hands on processing for each project.

TIA

Rob

Well, some of my issues are now resolved:

  • Resolved - Header disappears - Cant remember exactly but i use the following settings: Custom Header table created and then used int he header. In Format > Borders and Shading > selected No-repeat and Scroll is checked. -
  • Not resolved - Flickering -
  • Resolved - Header flush with topic window. This thanks to Matt Sullivan advice about CSS (http://ow.ly/Tv1l), place the following at the top of the page.

body {
font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;
margin-left: 0pt;
margin-right: 0pt;
margin-top: 0pt;
}

Means that indents for all other styles need resetting but it is a price worth paying.

  • Not resolved - Next and previous buttons -
