[Pro] CSS Layout: Keep Text and Graphic Together

I have a footer area on a site that is a graphic in a layer. On top of that, I have the footer text in html.

Is there a way to keep them together if the content before it pushes it down?

I don’t have a box model done, as I don;t really need it (but may need it for this to work).

You can’t exactly insert the text layer into the graphic layer item, so how do they stay together?

Thanks.

If it is in a layer the content before won’t push it down!

What you can do is use a background image in your HTML item with the text inside.

Hi Bob,

this might be of interest as well (and I don’t have to write it down again):

Yes, I was following that thread, too.

I never think of having a background image in a html box. I always think you have one or the other.

Just like I don’t understand why there’s a difference in the way the item you bring the image into is treated when you bring it in Pass Through or not.

For instance, I can’t put a custom border on a Pass Through item.

… but that’s the cool thing on div in div using bg-images because you can merge transparent png’s to one looking final artwork.

Example:

http://www.kimmich-dm.de/prototype/index.html

Started with a simple html object, filled with orange.

Inserted another html in it same size, applied some lightspots.

in this div another div, inserted the bokeh effect.

and a final div in it, put in the small shadow-line on top and bottom of the orange box.

I often wondered how these things are made in other page-examples, so I think that’s a the way, a good and rather simple to keep your datas small (in fact smaller than throw in a full-merged psd-image). But you need assist by Photoshop (or other Pixelmators)

Another thing you can do by HTML-bg is tiling. Very important to keep datas small as well.

All the others are “on an image itself” things, either using pass-though to leave it untouched by freeway or use freeways image-managment by just thowing it in a graphic box.

Pass-Through simply means to keep original size and dimension of images into freeway - and believe me - sometimes the best way to get the clearest final-results.

It’s even possible to throw a .tiff or .ai in it - but PLLLEEEAASE, never do - your browser will suddenly do nothing with it.
