I created a footer per the tutorial by Heather Kavanagh (thank you) but somehow the footer always lands just 1 px above the absolute bottom of the page. Take a look to see what I’m talking about.
I’m trying this on the sitemap for now, and when I get it working right I will apply it through the whole site.
I designed this site using my ‘white page on grey background shadowed’ as a background image, tiled vertically. Then at the bottom (I’m trying to emulate apple.com here) I want to “cap” it using a thin wide graphic, then adding a solid fill html box 50 px tall to give it some distance from the bottom. But BELOW that is the problem. It’s as if just 1 px of the background is coming through at the very bottom of the browser. I’ve tried viewing it on Safari, Firefox, on my Mac and in IE6 on a PC. No difference between any of them.
If so, you need to use the Mask Final Row option in the Action Palette and choose a colour which matched the base colour of the page (in your case the dark gray).
HI,
Freeway tends to put am extra row of 1 pixel height at the very bottom of the page to help with holding the layout together. This run of pixels is always below the very last item on the page, and it is set not to have any fill or colour. The result is that the page’s background shows through. You can not control this behaviour from the Freeway interface.
Heather’s tutorial doesn’t use background textures for the page, so you don’t see this happen. If, like you (and indeed me), you use page textures, you will get that row showing up.
The Action I pointed you towards fixes this issue by masking this row of pixels with a colour of your choice.
