can anyone just clarify for me?

I have been used to using table layouts and centre aligning as a simple way
to have pages that display well on larger screens. This has saved me
learning the intricacies of flexible layouts.

I now have a charity based client who wants their header and footer coloured
box to extend the full width of the browser window.

This can be done with non aligned page using a divs but then I lose the
centre alignment of the page.

Is there still a way to have the html boxes of header and footer to extend
the width of any browser window within page made from a Freeway document
set as table layout? (Not CSS layout).

Width can grow doesn’t do it. 100% only makes it 100% of the Freeway page
size.

I maybe ought to learn css positioning methods but I havent and there’s no
budget and not a lot of time in this particular case.

Freeway Pro 5.

Or is there a way with CSS positioning to have the elements acting the same
as page centred does in the old way of doing it - without setting the page
alignment to centre.

Any pointers or help most welcome.

all the best

You can do something similar by setting the left and right offsets as
percentages. For example, you draw a CSS layout HTML box, you’d set
the left and right offsets to 30%. This would have the effect of
fixing the left and right edges at 30% from the browser window, no
matter how wide.

The potential downside is the box width also varies. I’d suggest
experimenting a while with the various settings to see what they do.
