Hi,
I built my recent site using the inline box model. I took on Dan Jasker’s tutorial, and everything seems to be working great except for text.
I am experiencing text expanding beyond boxes. How do I keep text from expanding or how do I make text expand without breaking a box?
Thanks in advance,
DR

Make sure that these boxes have their height attribute disabled. Click
on the up/down arrow icon left of the Height box on the Inspector. The
value will dim, and the field will become disabled. When Freeway
publishes the HTML, the height attribute will be left out of the code,
and so the box will “shrink-wrap” around its contents. Then when those
contents grow, the box will grow with them as well.

Hi Walter,
The box model issue I’m having is also related to the same site posted in this thread: http://www.freewaytalk.net/thread/view/82780
If you notice anything odd, I would gladly appreciate any feedback.
Thank you,

Sorry, this links back to the current thread, not a different thread.
Just post a link to the page in this thread, it’s quicker and keeps
everything together.

Hi Walter,
Oops! Sorry about that.

When resizing the browser, you’ll notice the text breaking the box. I also notice some text overlapping. I believe the overlap is due to several html items within a parent html item.
Not sure if this is even something to worry about. How many folks are really going to resize their browsers to the max decrease & max increase. I guess at this point it’s the fact that I know of this issue…should I let it worry me? Hmmm. It would be nice to have it fixed.
Cheers,
DR

Well it would if this was actually a box model site but I suspect that there are many elements that are not ‘in the box’

Yeah, a lot of this site does not have undefined heights. Items such as body-wrapper, news-wrapper, etc. Check to make sure that these have undefined heights to ensure that the content is flexible.

Paul thanks for spotting the typo. English is my second language and I do my best not to screw it up but as much as I try, the little buggers seems to pass through.
