Page Background Tile

Freeway
1

In Safari the tiled page background reloads every time another page is viewed, works fine in FireFox. The tile is 20 px wide and 1000 px high

Marcel - your site works fine for me in Safari 3 (no sign of reload).
Very nice, clean design, BTW.

Instructions from Walt: I used steps 1-5 for my logos page, I added a 1px left and right border on the carousel area box, it helps to enhance the scroll effect.

  1. Draw an HTML box the size of your carousel area. Style it how you like, borders, background color, whatever you like.
  2. Either click inside the box and enter inline content, or carefully draw child boxes within the carousel area to design the first pane of your carousel. Add images or type — whatever you like.
  3. Select the HTML box, and duplicate it in place (0,0 offsets). Change the content to create your second pane. Repeat until you have stacked up all of the panes of your carousel.
  4. Select all of the panes and group them together. With the group selected, apply the Carousel action to the group.
  5. Draw your forward and back buttons, or design them in Photoshop. (These controls must be images.) Apply the Carousel Button action to each one, and select which direction you would like it to scroll.
  6. (Optional) Draw tabs to select individual panes directly. Apply the Carousel Tab Action to each one, and choose the layer you would like to show from the picking list of panes. (At this point you may smack your forehead and go back to clean up the layer names, either using the Inspector or the Site panel.)
  7. (Even more optional) Create a single CSS style named ‘active’ and add a border or some other bit of style to set off the currently selected tab from the others. Apply this style to a non-layered element on the pasteboard so that Freeway will publish it.
  8. Select the entire package — the grouped stack of panes, the tabs, and the forward/back buttons — and group them all together. It is not necessary to apply any further Actions to this group.
  9. Repeat as many times as you like, to add additional carousels to the page.

If you do use steps 1 - 5, don’t skip step 8. Without it, the whole thing will not work at all.

There is a compatibility layer in there for people who want to skip step 5 (useful only if you turn on auto-scroll). In that case there is no need to group the carousel panes a second time.
