[Pro] Footer Backgrounds

Hello,

Please have a look at: http://www.denver.org/

Notice the background on the footer (grass and green) and how it extends to the horizontal area of the browser window just as the blue gradient background above.

But note the inline behavior as you increase text size (the footer is moved down to accommodate the larger text).

Can something like this be accomplished with Freeway, and if so, how.

Thanks!

Hi Sol. etc.,

one possibility to do this, is to make an inline-box-model.

Basics:

  1. div: big container wrapper (100%)

put in there other divs set them to 100% and clear to both. These filled with color or image will expand to both sides.

Detailed infos: danjasker.com (Screencast, every single buck worth).

In a very naive way, I rebuilt it: http://www.kimmich-dm.de/kunden/artedeisapori/bmtest.html

But there where severe other discussions in FWT, managing the same problem.

Thank you Thomas…

I actually tried an inline layout but still haven’t stumbled on the secret recipe for enclosed divs to span the browser window.

Might you be so kind as to zip the FW file and post somewhere so I can see what you have done.

Thanks again,

Scott

The trick is that you have to set your page to Align: None. Once you
do that, any element that you define as being 100% wide will span the
window regardless of the window’s size.

To center the other parts of the page, you have to create a container
for them. Draw an HTML box and set its width to 100%. Then double-
click inside that box and use Insert / HTML Item to add an inline box.
Set its width to whatever your desired page width is, and set its
Margin to Auto. That box will now be centered on the page, and
anything you add to it or draw as a child of it will be centered in
the browser window while the rest of the page flexes to fill the window.

That`s it, nothing to add - except of the file in freeway.

Give me some time, I will add it to my HP and to give you the link to download. But I should remove authors origin images. So stay tuned.

Thought it could be a nice idea, to fill a bit more of content in - just to show the pros of such a construction. Please remind, that the file is not available yet, but here http://www.kimmich-dm.de/extras/boxmodel2/index.html you can see the actual point of work. If anybody is interest in downloading the file, please let me know.

Have fun.
