Working on a lil theme (not ready yet, not responsive yet) just to get into 7 and recognized two things:
- Anchors on HTML text
doesn’t work on master-pages (but do on child pages). I am furthermore under the impression of a bit weirdness with anchors on graphic items on master-pages, too (they’re often lost - even by just moving them to different positions).
- H-Tags and multiple classes
Example
h1.animated.fadeInDown
This might be me (cause too dumb to do), but ONE class added works, but another class added in the H-Tag dialogue makes Freeway generating (fallback) a paragraph.
Cheers
Thomas

- Anchors on HTML text
Anchors are just ID tags - figure out how to add them to your target and
manually add them in your link (#myitem). Just like adding a hash for
placeholder, except list the id name after - no prefix need as relative
works. I usually aim for container id’s - assuming FW7 still id’s
everything that way. XD
As for your 2-class h1 – does the FW7 Style Editor let you write it like
that or have you made a Tag style? In previous versions of FWY, user made
Tag styles aren’t necessarily applicable - you can’t apply them to text
like that. Although it is easy to add multiple classes to object via the
Extended interface - if only text worked similarly.
My solution for multiple class text is to pick one class and apply to the
text (h1.FadeInDown) then tag it’s parent with an empty class - maybe via
extended. Then you can start throwing classes at the parented h1 like -
.targetclass h1.FadeInDown { animated style code }
You can group multiple style definitions in FWP as Tag styles (comma
separated) but the tiny, non-expanding text windows in legacy FWP make it a
horrible chore. Tell me, have they made text-entry any easier in the FWP7
interface?
Looking good Thomas!

Hi guys - thanks.
I simply struggle with declaring “bugs” - cause most of them are sitting in front of the screen.
The H-Tag classifying is simply something I saw elsewhere and thought to give it a go. Usually (and in this case as well) I wrap nearby everything in “one-Div-more”. So yes - classifying the parent was what I did.
The anchor is reasonable as well - but the kb says:
- Select some HTML text or a graphic item and open the Anchor dialog from the Edit menu (Command-Shift-a)

I think that you will find it doesn’t work on Masters in FW6 as well.

… which doesn’t make me wonder, so lost on the track between 5 and 6? Crazy nobody complaint it yet.
Anchors never had been a big theme to me, but in a One-Page-Design essential, isn’t it?

I know Thomas but if you are doing a 1 page site would you even be trying to do this on the Master?
Unless you were making a Template. Is that the plan?
BTW - doesn’t work on 5 either. So must be a good reason for it. Softpress?

It may be no one on the developer team has focused on anchor-behavior yet -
Thomas seems to be trying to confine himself within the literal aspects of
FWP for the sake of template-making… if so, then welcome to my FWP template
madness. FWP’s basic level doesn’t meet the definition of basic for
designers like us. Anything we consider basic is to many users simply
“breakable”.
I’ve not had any issues making menu links on a master in 6… so it’s curious
why the same support for anchored links is not as developed. There is an
obvious workaround for us - manual links to item id names - which is
slightly above the pay-grade for users who who expect never-fail,
high-design templates. I’ve often wondered if there is a market for
templates oriented toward the inflow crowd.
