As I try to emigrate to Xway…have a problem with a graphic on a sizable, older site.
Initially the graphic on the home page was the existing building. the client moved and we changed the “initial" image” to the new place. Well, they moved back.
I tried many times to simply change the original image back…and while it worked in preview, I couldn’t get it to display once hosted. I finally ditched the initial image - thinking maybe the action to swap between two images may be the concern.
I have placed this graphic on the site. It’s sized to go fully left to right…but will not. I have tried every setting I know but it simply will not work.
Is the graphic you’re referring to “234SState.jpg”?
This is set to float left, so it appears on the left of the page. You’ve also set the width to 1199 pixels, so that’s how large it appears on the page. If you want it to take up the full width of the page, you could set its width to 100%. Leave the height undefined, and it will be scaled to match, so the aspect ratio of the image is preserved.
There is another possibility that you could consider. If you set this as a background image on its parent box (instead of inserting it within its parent box), you could then set its size to “contain” or “cover”: “cover” will ensure that it fills the box, but parts of it may be cropped to fix. Set the box to the size you want, and set the background position so that (if the background is cropped) the most important parts of the image remain visible. This may take a bit of fiddling to get right, and you might want to experiment in a duplicate document to see if it does what you want it to.
This background technique can be used in both Freeway and Xway, although the size options weren’t added in Freeway until version 7.
