Hi, I’m a graphic designer wanting to do my own webpage. I have the trial version of freeway express to try out. I want to just get a placeholder image up there, so that if I give out a card with a web address, it will at least link to something!
I have designed a promo graphic, but i’d like it to sit nicely in the browser window. I found out how to center a graphic horizontally, but not vertically. I also found out I could import it as a background image and do both, which looks perfect. BUT… I also have an email link tied to a specific area of the image, so that doesn’t work if I use a background image, because that area may not match the text behind it in the graphic.
I can only make the email link work if I use the first method, which isnt looking so sharp due to my image floating on a black background, but at the top of the page… I really want it to centre in whatever proportion window the viewer has open.
Is there a way to achieve what I’d like? I’ve been searching through the manual but haven’t found anything yet. obviously, I know next to nothing about coding
thanks!

I hope someone can help me here. I have been searching through the manual and am wondering if CSS (ie I would need pro?) is the only way to do this. Because I can’t find any references to centering an item both horizontally and vertically on a page, like you can with a background image.
feel free to look at the page I have up so far to see what I’m talking about. I want to make a link over the word “here” but can’t get that to happen accurately as the background image could be anywhere on the page, and the link is locked to one area. so I have this great big shape which is the link which will theoretically work wherever you click, however big the window is. But its not very elegant.

There might be a really clunky workaround, but the Vertical Align
action
(http://www.actionsforge.com/actions/view/40-vertical-align-action)
will help you do this with no pain or stress.

thanks a heap. I haven’t grasped enough about the programme to know about actions, but I’ve downloaded the one you suggested and see if I can grasp it.
