I have got some problem creating a rather simple background. Since I am new to Freeway I might be simply to silly and overlook the obvious…
Here is the basic setup: I want a white page which has a grew background and a header exactly as wide as the page. My page is 960px wide. I found to ways to do what I want in Freewaytalk.
a) tile the background with a small piece of my grew all over and put a white html on the page exactly the size of the page. Works fine but creating rollovers on top of the html is kind of messy (though not impossible)
b) create a stripe of white 10 to 960, set it as background of the page, tile it vertically and center it horizontaly while setting the backgroundcolor to grey. Much better with all the rollovers and looks much cleaner in what it achieves.
BUT with my header put on the page (it being exactly 960 wide) Safari and Chrome produce a new problem. When I change the windows size sometimes 1px of white shows up right between the header and the right tiles of grey which looks akward. Looks like while resolving the triple input of white page, header and grey background some stuff is rounded wrong and that leaves a gap of 1px - enough to look awfull (in Indesign I would use a bleeding box to avoid this type of 1 px white)
c) third solution: put the header right on my white background which however now has to fill the full page. Problem here - resizing the wind produces grey on the bottom instead of white the moment my graph end.
C) is ok for me for this project. But since I am curious I would like to learn how to get around it and get a perfect solution for my next projects
