I have a sneaky suspicion it’s not just the position absolute problem that’s causing this in freeway. From reading the huddles forum this area seems to be problematic.
HI David…
in IE7
what you get now is the alpha background does cover the bottom of the actual thumbnail picture which is better than before as it did stop in the middle of it though still not 100% of the page

got the bat******tard
ok forget all the layering stuff on the webyep page
all you need to do is make sure the page is going to be taller than the popup say 2000px
then at the bottom of the page draw a small tiny winy html box and turn of layer so its blue
now regardless what the webyep thing is Layered or not the alpha will be as long as the page
hooooray bloody ray… :o)
Guys, I have been looking at this quite a bit and have found that if the item name item1 (which appears to be a WebYepTextElement) is set to position relative, float left and clear both it works fine:
I’m not sure what the best way to do this is, whether the Action should look out for it or what but it is certainly an IE7 issue with absolutely positioned items as you found earlier David.

Can you try again (reload in IE7) the bottom if the page was the bottom of the pic, I’ve put something a bit lower down the page.

Hi David yes it works in IE 7 and in IE6… yipppeeeee
So one solution is to place a non layered item at the bottom of the page and as long as the pop up isn’t any taller than the original window then it will work, the alpha background will cover the entire page…
Now I am going to look at Joe’s answer as this method wont always be ideal.
Thanks Joe, you beat me to it, with my tinkering this morning I realised the only item left was the action which still had style="position:absolute; still in it. And making everything into tables to remove it made it work.
Max, could this be addressed in the action?

Hi joe your method works in IE6 and 7
so… if the webyep image item is part of an inline then people need to make it a float left and clear both, is that what you are saying…?
I haven’t got your artwork so don’t know which webyep element you have adjusted
HI Joe Hi David
ok looked at the artwork and yes jo I can see from the output that the line
is showing a class of WebYepTextElement and a position of absolute; but this item isn’t a WebYep item.
I know… I know… it’s odd and cant be!! But I couldn’t figure it out what this item was when I looked at the artwork.
so I have removed every ounce of webyep in fact all I have is 1 html box which is empty nothing in it on an empty page. with no webyep code, nothing and there is still a class of WebYepTextElement. even after a forced full publish.
I even checked to see if a class had been added manually on this html iem and it hasn’t
so
how is this html box getting it’s class?
and two this box isn’t made by a webyep action it’s a standard Freeway HTML box that used to contain inline webyep items.
and so this would need to be adjusted via the normal inspector palette with: float, clear both and relative, which it cant because its a non inline container.
I cant see how I get round that.
Do you want me to send in the artwork Joe, because either I am off my bonce, or blind or there is something I don’t know about… probably all three!!
speak soon max
The WebYepTextElement br is something I put in by importing from another stylesheet. It dates back to another issue of styling two br’s in long text items, so I’d ignore that bit, sorry.

thank god for that I can see it now
ok so forget the first one…
the only real issue is it’s not a web yep item but a container for inline webyep items and this would still be normally adjusted via the inspector palette
Well not quite, to fix the site I was originally working on, you need to go through the Item > extended palette and add the style last, and override the style="position:absolute; that Freeway gives for the first div.
There is probably a neater way to do this…
But at least ifs fixed.

Ok now I am back after watching Bolt smashing the World record…
David the only way I know how to adjust this html box is
clicking on it and then going up to Item/extended and then in the click
button and adding three new attributes:
name: position
value: relative
then
name: float
value: left
and finally
name: clear
value: both
I think this duplicates what Joe did but I have no idea what effect this does to the site as a whole? as I haven’t checked it
