I’m having a bit of trouble with a table that I’m using to hold some form elements. It seems that in Freeway Pro 6 the table rows are all all being output at roughly the same height, whereas I would like some of them to be different heights to help with formatting.
I was wondering if this was a bug in Freeway Pro 6 (I’m on 6.08) as I can’t seem to get the row heights to be different on publish.
See the link below for an example of what I mean. The image on he right is how it looks in Freeway which is what I was expecting it to look like, whilst the image on the left is the published output in Safari.
As no one has replied to my earlier post (it was very early here in UK) I thought I’d update the link to show what the table should look like when I originally created it in Freeway 5.5.
When you view the table in the browser it looks as it does on the page in the program in Freeway Pro 5.5, the link is in the post above (or below if you’re on email).
But when you look at the Freeway Pro 6 version the table cells that were thin (a couple of pixels high) have expanded to a similar size of the other cells.
The tables render the same in safari and Firefox.
Is this a “feature” of Freeway Pro 6?
I’m using Version 6.0.8, on 17" MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.7.5.
Can we have a link to the actual page online so that we can see the underlying code that is being output as there may be something else influencing this.
Hi David,
Thanks for the reply.
The original layout was part of an inline box model. Which is how it was constructed in freeway 5.
In the Freeway 6 version I created a new table and made it look like the original.
That’s why I can’t think why it should output as it does, the only thing I can think of at the moment is that I have styled the
tags, but that shouldn’t affect the tables.
I’ll investigate later when I’m at my computer.
Steve.

Here is my version of your layout done in FW 6.0.8 with a screenshot of the FW page below. Bog standard.
I’ve solved the riddle of the expanding table rows…
I had styled the
tag with what I wanted all the paragraphs to look like including leading and space before and after so that when I had a paragraph it was already formatted to my needs, (the table would appear in a Perch cms site). That then affected the styling of the rows when the table was placed in an inline layout. Removing the styling on the
tag collapsed the rows to the correct height.
Now I know what was causing the problem I can now go through the site and apply the appropriate css styling.
I’ll give that a go when I’m back working on the site.
It’s odd that when you have styled the
tags it affects the height of the table in freeway 6. I thought of another way to style the rows I want to be smaller, by setting a style with a 3px font height and leading and applying it to the row. I’ve got to give it a go to see if it will work.
Cheers
Steve.
