[Pro] Anchor in Responsive Inline layout

Hi,
I tried to position an anchor on html text in inline responsive page layout.

When I click on the link to the anchor, the linked page scrolls to the top of the page immediately after it went to the anchor position.

What is wrong ?

Can you post a link? It’s hard to say without seeing it in action/analyzing the code.

Here is a link:

http://kiatsu-massage.de/index.html

If you press on the button with the two persons-pictogram the link should go to the contact form on this page:

http://kiatsu-massage.de/kontaktki-aikido.html

This page scrolls up to the top.

The Anchor link (kontaktki-aikido.html#AchorContact) is to the text “fragen, anmelden, mitteilen” on that page.

Is that what you intended?

##Here is what is going on…

  1. The code for the form is being imported through an iframe, which is interfering with the way Safari is displaying the anchor.

  2. If you fix that, then the anchor will behind the fixed menu which appears when the page is not at the top.

  3. How do you plan to fix all that?

Hi Big Erns,

thank you very much for the big effort ! The anchor works now. But the Sticker menu on top and the contact form do not.

So: As you write “Design is essentially a series of choices”.

I decide to make some different choices. I want the Sticker and the contact form. So,I moved the contact form to the top of the page. Now no more problems. The link just goes to this page.

I am a designer with no (!) coding experience, that’s why I am using Freeway. Now with responsive inline layout I am just learning to use CSS snippets.

Thank you again for the hints. It helped me to find a solution.

You could use the SendForm action to create the form and then there is no iFrame or javascript to upset things.

At one time that is exactly how I described myself. Then after a while, no changed to some, then to more-than-I-ever-wanted-to-know. Then enough to get the job done and now always room for more.

Freeway can be used in the absence of knowledge of web code, but it can also be used to bridge the gap to using that code to make better websites.

Hi DeltaDave,

thanks for the hint. But the SendForm action is very limited and does not work with my provider. It needs PHP.

Hi TheBig Erns,
I think I am getting to “some”. This website has been very helpful:

I’m working on it.

Which is a pretty basic requirement

Well – yes. Maybe it is something else.

When I use the backdraft SendForm module and send it I am getting a “Error 403- Forbidden” page which displays the following text:

ZUGRIFF NICHT ERLAUBT
Die angeforderte Seite darf nicht angezeigt werden.

Here is the test page:

Does your server support PHP?

Here is a handy file that I’ve used to test for php version and support. Download it, decompress it, then upload it to your server. View it from your browser ( http://www.yourserver.com/testphp.php ) If php is not enabled, you should either get an error or the browser may simply download the file. If php is enabled, you should get a page showing the version and which components are enabled.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27331610/FWT/testphp.zip

You should not leave this file on your server when you are finished.

Now, all that said, I am chiming in because I have a prominent client whose hosting service does not provide php or database support-- they are just an ISP. This severely limits my ability to build things in a proper manner. My client is not local to me, is very technophobic and unwilling to change to a proper hosting provider (which is also his ISP) because of the perceived complication it will cause him.

For a while I used Google forms to handle some of his customer interaction, now I am hosting his contact form on my own development server. Not a great idea, but one born of few options. So, I do get it.

Once upon a time I insisted on hosting all my clients so that I could control the servers and therefore my options for building whatever was needed. I changed that policy when my finances became too fragile to guarantee uninterrupted service. Again, choices and their consequences.

Sounds like the perfect use-case for FormBase, which I haven’t built, but put up a teaser page for: http://formbase.io
