I am used perch CMS and I have a html item on my page which imports the html template I created as a separate page in freeway. Now my problem is it brings it in all okay but I need them to run side by side, it seems such a simple thing but I can’t quite grasp how to get it to do this.
here’s the link of test page so far. http://www.mightydigital.co.uk/cms/
Can you make a sketch showing what you mean by side-by-side? I’m sure someone could help if there was a clearer idea of your goal.

Do you mean you want the 3 images to be aligned horizontally across the page instead of vertically?
Also, you have multiple doc type, head, body etc. declarations. You need to strip down the template you’re bringing into the page. No doc type, no head or body tag etc. Just the content markup.
In freeway Pro 5 I inserted a marked up item, in the pop up box for the marked up item I inserted my code
<?php perch_content('Gallery'); ?>
The size of the box I just expended across the page.
So each thumbnail image is created from a CMS perch template (this I created in freeway as it has the semi transparent box and 2 text field I needed, then uploaded the that html page from the site folder to the perch template folder) and when clicked on it will be a fancybox/lightbox effect.
This I have almost worked out all I need to be able to do is have each new post from the template to line up side by side instead of underneath each other (I will strip down the code for the template swell thanks Todd).
I hope this makes sense and thanks for speedy responses
It sounds like what you need is to float these elements left, then add some right and bottom margin to space them away from each other. http://freewaycast.com/screencasts/view/20-flexible-inline-objects shows what that looks like in Freeway while you’re laying it out as a static page. You can adapt that to your Perch template pretty directly.
