Hi new to FW
When I place a .eps via a graphic box…why does it view in browser after a while as if it has been re positioned and shows white blocks either top, bottom or left right?v as if it is not fitting the box correctly?? same applies to text boxes now! the more i add the more blocks of white distort my pages! as if the pages are breaking up?
Daz…Thank You

Are you placing these items in a CSS-positioned box or a table-positioned box? (Are you using Express, by the way? You are using tables then and you can’t avoid that fact.) If you place the image in a CSS-positioned box, this shouldn’t happen at all, but in a table-positioned box, if there is another HTML box to the right or left of the image that does not extend entirely above and below the image box, the image may become “sliced” to fit the table structure, and when the text expands the table (as it does) your image will be pulled apart, showing the seams.

Thank you.
I’m using pro, the tutorials say to switch the CSS button off?
I have just placed an image .eps that has a background of cmyk value of 100% in all colors
On top of an HTML box made up of solid black rgb values.

I haven’t looked at the tutorials in many years, maybe I should…
It sounds like what I described – a table layout will pull apart any elements that don’t fit it exactly. Your options are to either place the image as an inline element within another HTML box (actually cut it and paste it into the flow of text as if it was a single character of text), or promote that graphic box to become a layer (check the Layer checkbox in the Inspector). Anything you draw while the layer positioning is turned off will be positioned by a large invisible table structure that you cannot see or edit directly in Freeway. Anything within this layer will occupy a single layer of the page (what I like to refer to as layer zero) in the stacking order. Anything that is positioned as a layer will occupy its own individual layer, starting one layer above the table. The reason for using a table for a layout is either because you are making an HTML e-mail or you are trying to create a layout where there is a footer or other bottom-of-the-page element that you want to always appear below your content. Otherwise, most modern designs encourage you to use layers or inline DIVs rather than tables. Tables are perfect for tabular content, like a spreadsheet or an address book listing, but they are conceptually wrong for a page layout.

No reason to turn CSS positioning off.

FW will convert .eps into a suitable .gif or .jpeg (rgb) depending on its content but why not start with an RGB version anyway. Pro can import .psd files too.
Is the HTML box you are placing it over a layered item?
As a rule the CSS button should be on for Pro users and then when you create an item it will be a layer. Turning the button on after creating items will not change their state (non-layer to layer) but you can do that in the Inspector.
