[Pro] Mess happend

Hello community,

(FW pro 6.0.4)

I have 3 different layout:

  • page design
  • freeway preview (little messy)
  • Browser (highly messy)

Some elements (html, pics) are ok, some are completely shifted, sometimes outside the page.

In the produced HTML, I have some “negative margins”, or perfectly aligned items with different “margins” anyway

Offre installation PME 2 :

...

It was anyway quite ok until I started cleaning.
(I use CSS layout, master and pages have fixed width, no “overflow”)
When I create or paste elements on the page, i take care of having the page selected
All elements properties show Layer, absolute,
The page uses both: master Settings / Content / Actions (grayed) / Children (grayed)

Forums, user doc, google… no clues…

Thanks in advance

Serge

If it helps, I discovered a lot of “fwColumn f-x2” and “fwRow”-like things that were not there on the former version. on the Rules, (FF inspector) I have “position: absolute;” striked-out…

But on the object property, position [absolute] is well selected… more and more confusing…

After … not to say investigation, but rather try-error process, I found out it has something to do with Layer/absolute vs. no layer at all.
I wish to build everything without table layout, but rather CSS.

At a given point while checking the “layer” checkbox on some page elements, some other elements of the page starts to behave very strangely. I mean on the editor window they remain at the same position but on the browser, mess happens.
On top, FW then says:

[Relative Page Layout Folder Action

The Action will be ignored on the following pages because they are set as HTML 3.2 or contain table based items:

{list of my pages}]

still confusing a lot… help / advises are really welcome

The column and row classnames tell me that you have applied the Relative Page Layout Action to the page. That Action does some serious magic to turn an ordinary Absolute Positioned CSS page to a simulacrum of a fully Inline Relative Positioned layout, such as you might hand-code or build in Freeway by inserting HTML boxes within one another in a russian-doll nesting fashion. As a first step, you might remove that Action from the page and see if the layout starts to make more sense.

Hi Walter.

Thanks, that was helpful, even if I haven’t got the [Relative Page Layout] action on my pages…

I actually simply added the “anti-action” called [Remove from relative Page Layout], and the mess went out.

Thanks x1000

It may be applied to your Site Folder
