Extra Background Action and aligning the page

Recently I’ve tried the Extra Background Action.

Works nice. But I wanted to have the page centered horizontally AND vertically in the browser window.

Applied the vertical align action as well, but the both do not work together nicely.

Patching the Extra Background Action is not an option, because it is encrypted.

Anyone found another solution to generate horizontally and vertically centered webpages with nice borders aside from using frames? Ideally working with layered and non layered elements.

If you can guarantee the page height, then you could always make your background center vertically and horizontally and then use the vertical align action, but that will only work within a small range of page sizes, naturally.

Otherwise, I’m not sure how you could do this. Perhaps you could try drawing an HTML box full screen, and apply one of the graphic background effects to it, and then build the rest of your page as an inline layout within that box.

Thanks Walter, for the tips.

Unfortunately for both of your suggestions I need to use the vertical align action AND set page align to center for horizontal aligning.

For some strange reason, horizontal aligning is not respected as soon as I activate the vertical align action.

Probably have to look into vertical align action to get this fixed.

There is a bug in the vertical align action. See http://freewaytalk.net/thread/view/39447 for details.

With the fix it works together with center page aligning.

There is still an issue with layered item. To do proper vertical aligning it needs at least one non layered item at the bottom of the layout.

Maybe I can fix this too.
