Action Flexible Image

Freeway

Hi,
does somebody know how i can get the action “flexible image” to work?
I followed the instructions on actions forge, but the action don’t seem to work for me.
Are there some secret tricks?

Thanks,
Tom

Can you describe the steps you took, what you expected, and what happened instead? Doesn’t work isn’t going to help much here.

For example:

  1. New blank page, XHTML Strict, CSS Positioning button On.
  2. Select Graphic Box tool, draw a rectangle on the page.
  3. Import an image, scale to fit.
  4. With that image box selected, apply the Flexible Image Action to the box.
  5. Publish >>

Result: The image stays the same size all the time.

Expected: The image to scale with the browser width.

ok, here’s the whole story:
-made a new site in FW 5.6.5, HTML 4.01 transitional, css on,
-made up a graphic box, imported a jpeg
-selected the box and applied the flexible image action
-tried out different settings in inspector, e.g. “flexible width: 100%” on and “keep aspect ratio” on,
previewed in safari the image stays the same size. i expected the picture to grow and shrink when browser dimensions change, like the background supersizer action does, but just with one single picture in a HTML-Box and would use it later in an inline-layout.
here’s the link:

just found out: XHTML 1.0 strict will solve the problem, thanks for the hint.

Keep looking – that’s not the whole reason. XHTML and HTML differ only in the technicalities of their coding syntax – not in what they can do in a browser.
