I have been trying to get my head around Xway after having used Freeway. Is there any way in Xway that text boxes and images can be dragged and dropped? I have the website www.kaimaibush.co.nz and if you look at it, you will see the type of format I used in Freeway (and before that, GoLive). Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Shirley,
You can drag boxes to reorder them in their parent.
But I suspect that you are asking about something slightly different. Freeway was designed to behave like a desktop publishing program in which you can layout a page by dragging boxes to different positions on a page. It then recreated this layout as a web page using invisible tables (“table layout”).
Invisible table layouts were deprecated a long time ago. One problem is that they are essentially inflexible, so a page layout might look good on a computer screen, but would fail to adapt to other devices, such as phones.
Xway, on the other hand, uses CSS layout techniques and is designed to create flexible layouts that adapt to different devices (phones, tablets, computers).
What I’d suggest is that you start by looking at the various Xway tutorials, which exist in written and video formats. These contain step-by-step instructions for creating a flexible website. Choose Xway Resources from Xway’s Help menu to get to the Xway Resources section of our website, where you can find a link to the tutorials page.
Thank you for your detailed reply. I will have a closer look at the resources you mentioned.
