TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Neal from Madcap was in my mailbox just hours after I posted, saying
that he has just a few sporadic reports of problems similar to what I
reported, but he doesn't see it himself when he generates a WebHelp
project and views it with Firefox 3beta. The suggestion is that it's
probably something peculiar I've done in creating my project, that's
(apparently) done by only a minority of other WebHelp-makin' Flare
users. The trick will be to discover what that peculiarity is.
So, at Neal's request, I've sent him some project source along with two
views of the startpage.htm from that project's output, one as seen from
IE, and one as seen (or not really seen) from Firefox 3beta.
Will keep y'all posted if anything turns up.... at least the Sales-Eng
guy and I are not imagining it. :-)
