Hi, community,
thanks so far for your help for this newcomer.
I’ve been trying to arrange my menu, text, and an image all on a CSS page tonight, and I haven’t been successful. Let’s see if I can describe what I’m doing and the problem.
I created a page similar to the first tutorial in the Using Freeway manual with a header, body, and footer container. The body has a width of 75.1% and is center aligned. I have an HTML text box inside this container.
My CSS menu is alongside the left margin. If I preview the window and shrink it enough, the text disappears beneath the menu. So, I think I need some type of container along the left margin that I have to put the CSS menu in and will block the body container-- but it didn’t work and maybe it’s because the CSS containers layer? I tried this … created an HTML item 120 pix wide against the left edge that runs the length of the body-container, and I put that left container to the left of the body container and put the CSS menu inside the left-container. But that didn’t prevent the text in the body container from disappearing beneath the menu. I’ve only worked with table HTML before; I’ve never tried to do anything with CSS or layers.
Am I trying to do something impossible (or unreasonable)?

Hi Chckbo
its sounds like you have placed your div (your menu) as a child of its container and what I think you want is to place it as an inline item.
If there was a live version somewhere then it would help us to see what’s going wrong.
I will post a quick video in a minute of what I think you are doing and what I think you need to do, but please keep in mind, I have no idea what your site looks like so I am guessing here.

Max,
thanks for the explanation and the time you spent to make the video. It’s helpful and gives me ideas of what I can do – just not quite what I was after in this project.
I’m not going to do a good job of explaining it. But in your video, imagine the area into which you placed were set at a dimension of 75% in width and aligned in the center. That would leave a portion of the page to the left of that container. I had tried to put the menu into that area on the left unsuccessfully.
I ended up moving the menu into the header (and still using horizontal submenus) in order to avoid the submarining text.
