[Pro] Freeway Mobile site and Firefox on Android

Hi all,
Experimenting with FW6 and creating a mobile site. Seems to work on IOS and the bundled Android browser, but if I try to auto rotate on Firefox then the page appears like a corrupted jpeg! This is the case even on a page only containing HTML text!

If I load the page in question in any orientation then it appears perfect, but if I rotate it corrupts.

Experienceing a real lack of documentation, so wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Cheers,
Steve

Steve,

Could we get a link?

Hi Caleb,
At the moment is just a text page to check the functionality - but you can find it on www.stevedavey.com/mobile

In truth am having some issues with the lack of documentation on the new mobile features of FW6. Run photo tours and need to kick the main site into mobile friendly format.

Cheers for the reply!
Steve

Steve,

It looks great over here using FF 19.0.2 on an old Droid 2 (Android 2.4, I do believe). Sorry, but it can’t take screenshots!

‘Great’ is probably an overstatement - but thanks so much for checking!

Sounds like a similar set-up to me, so it might just be my phone! Glad it is working though. This is the site that I am having to mobilise:

but only need to do the tours and courses pages…

Quick question - to get resizable and reflowable text I am defining the HTML item with the text as ‘flexible’, This seems to be working but converts it to a VERY wide text box that is all but impossible to edit is the html item stretches off the pasteboard!

Wondering if there is any way to avoid this?

Cheers,
Steve

The easiest way to work around this is to give the HTML box a reasonable max-width:

Ahh that makes sense. Couldn’t add anything into that box, but then realised that I could click on the icon to ‘switch it on’. Seems to be working well now! Thanks for your help!

Intrigued - my HTML inspector doesn’t look like that or have the CSS checkbox or float options. What version is this from?

Cheers,
Steve

Same as yours but you will only see the CSS check box if the item selected is part of an inline construction

Thanks Dave,
Confused when you say inline construction: have text and graphics in the same HTML item/box. Thought that counted as an inline construction? Have this HTML item set to be flexible as above.
Cheers,
Steve

Inline = Inserting the elements (html and graphic) into a text flow. This way they work like text does, no overlapping, and they will push each-other around.

Hmmm - that’s what I thought I had done on this layout, but still getting a different Inspector to yourself.
