Box Model—Inline Overflow?

Occasionally, when using the inline box model and you insert an item, the content disappears, as if the container has overflowed: there is the overflow indicator in the bottom right corner of the box.

However, it seems impossible to undo the problem without restarting.

Suggestions?

Sometimes changing the height setting on the item container solves this. I
think its a case that Freeway is just a bit unsure how to render things,
and changing the container height from flexible to fixed then back again
can sort it out.

Note, this doesn’t always work - and sometimes it can take more than
futzing with just the container. I have no clear logic on this except that
you should cultivate the patience of Job.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Wishing you perseverance,


Ernie Simpson

Thanks, Ernie. One thing I’ve noticed is that Insert/Graphic always inserts a box 100px square so make sure the largest container can accommodate that.

Incidentally, I’m now a confirmed box-modeller thanks to your template. I’m finding it easier (i.e. more logical and cleaner) to design and layout, and avoids RPL which has its pitfalls and I never liked. It also make the uploaded “page” fit iPad better for height and width.

What changes does the template need to make it responsive?

Welcome to Freeway Xtreme :wink:

Insert html item is also 100px square. Make sure the containers are
vertically flexible and it’s never a worry.

I’m not sure if this is default, but when I remove the fixed height from
inserted html items, Freeway Pro sets the min-height value for that item.
This is helpful for avoiding collapsing containers, and not annoying if I
remember to remove the min-height once I’ve gotten content into the
container.

Glad to hear you are finding your way. Best wishes…

To make my flexible template responsive requires adding custom CSS code… I
use a type of code called Media Queries which can detect browser width
and/or devices and orientation. You must rewrite the key CSS code generated
by FWP to fit each instance of the media query you want the site to respond
to. Then, you have to tell FWP to include that CSS in with it’s own.

Generally I’ll start the customizing process by setting specific window
sizes in my browser and noting how the flexible inline version behaves.
Then I make note of what key elements need altering to go all the way to
responsive and code those CSS properties. This is a fairly complex step,
and whenever you start taking it, I guarantee that you will see and
appreciate how much planning ahead I did with my flexible design.
