Hi!
I have a question concerning forms and other html objects in
Freeway. I have been a freeway user since version 2.x. I am now on
the latest version 5.1. However, when I grid up som forms elements
in Freeway they look perfect, but when viewing the page in Safari/
Firefox the elements are not aligned, the size is incorrect.
This is page here is an example:

Where the elements in freeway is much wider than they appear in
Safari. Why is that? I have tried with CSS layout enabled, layers
etc…but the size and positions never match the layout…what am I
doing wrong…?
Solve this and you are my new hero

I find that forms are best put together using one table with three
columns, say as follows:
120 5 300
120 for element title or subject text
5 for spacer
300 for the form elements
You can make these widths to suite your liking or needs.
Make the rows 24 high except for the text area, for a text area use
two rows and in the 300 column join them together so you have 2 on the
left at 24 high, 2 spacer rows at 24 high and the text area row 1 at
48 high, use the top 24 row on the left for the title text for the
text area.
I find it better to then set the text for the title rows to align
right and centrally height wise, the same for all the elements *
except * the text area element. (should align top as per default)
Now download the ‘Form Element Styler’ from my actions page:
http://www.easibase.com/freeway/freewayactions.php
Apply the action to each of the field and text area elements, give
them a border of 1 then a width of what suites (try 150 first), now
add a border colour. The text area could have a height of say 60 while
field elements probably don’t need the height set although you might
find you prefer 16.
