This is really pissing me out! Whenever I have an image in the background and I put text over it, the background of the text box turns white (as shown here: http://egillsigurdur.com/FreewayTalk/Picture%201.png ) but the Inspector says that there is no!! I can’t continue my project that way!
What could I do?
Thank you for your help!

Hi Egill,
I’m not sure what the problem is, but have you tried selecting the image, then going to ‘Item’ in the Freeway menu bar and selecting ‘Send Backward’? Try some of the other options if that doesn’t work.
Bon Chance,
Jim

We could do with a little bit more info like: have you got your text set to have a white background?
is this html text and if so do you have the css button turned on or off or is this graphic text
have you made this a layer or is layer turned off
if you give us a little bit more info then I am sure it will be fairly easy to pinpoint

Is “Background” set to “White” in your page’s “body” tag?
That could cause that.

Looks to me like you’re using graphic text, which is generally not
such a good idea for a number of reasons.
But anyway, the reason this is happening is because the graphic is
layered and, i suspect, being rendered as a JPEG. This format can’t
have transparency, and Freeway uses the page background colour when
it fills in the background of a layered graphic.
You can either group things together so they’re not in separatel
logical layers, or you can unlayer those items so the graphic isn’t
layered at all.
But really, it is best to avoid using graphics for regular-size text
unless absolutely unavoidable. This turns text into bitmap graphics,
making them (a) invisible to search engines, and (b) invisible to
those who don’t or can’t see images.

Ahhh. Disregard my previous email. Well, don’t disregard it entirely
What’s actually happening here is that those text boxes are
UN-layered. They are HTML boxes, and they’re effectively cutting
holes through the other items straight through to the page beneath.
The behaviour that you’re seeing is actually what has to happen in
HTML when working with unlayered elements. But there are ways of
taming this so you get the visual effect you’re after.
You can either make those into layers, so they float above what’s
underneath rather than cutting through - or you can give those boxes
the same fill colour as the items beneath so it doesn’t look like it
is cutting through.

That’s impressive Keith being able to see all that in just a PNG picture.

Seeing between the pixels. It is a bit like reading between the
lines. And boy, I got it totally wrong the first time around.
