Footer Folly

Freeway
1

I think this is more a design issue rather than a Freeway issue but perhaps one of you would be kind enough to provide a solution.

I wish to place a footer graphic at the bottom of the page so that it stays there irregardless of content or window size. I have created a layer graphic and set the bottom inset to 0. This is working at:

But there is one problem. If the window is resized to the point where the browsers vertical scrollbar activates, the graphic is not redrawn/relocated when scrolled.

Is there another way to achieve this without the scrolling issue?

TIA

Sorry to bump my own post but it seems to have gone unnoticed.

I have accomplished the proper footer behavior in GoLive by using a couple of wrappers:

I am afraid I am having a little trouble getting my fingers between the fan blades in Freeway for some of this stuff. Is this easily doable? Do I need to build an action to do this?

Nope. The issue here is that if the window is enlarged greater than the content, the page background draws underneath the footer and the footer is not at the bottom of the window.

Both the above method, and the following method are dicussed in this thread, but neither of them work as desired.

This is exactly what I had originally done, and have gotten the same results. You will notice that as soon as you resize this window to the point where the content invokes scroll bars, that scrolling the window up prevents the footer from remaining at the bottom of the window.

You can work around this by having your content in non-layerd items, but if you then want some of your footer to overlap the above content you will not have the option to have the overlap “behind” the content (as I wish to have).

I discovered that simply drawing out a non-layered blank html item will give the footer something to butt up against (and maintain the layering of the footer and the content) and I guess that is the solution.

If you want to see what I am talking about have a look at:

So for now the issue is resolved. Thanks!
