Just wondering if you recommend applying the relative page layout action to all website pages

It can help for pages where the content is variable – if you’re using a CMS, for example. It’s also helpful if you want to have a footer that stays parked directly below the page content. It’s not completely magical, but very nearly so. It’s important to figure out how it works, so you don’t build something it cannot rescue. There’s a KnowledgeBase article about it, I think.

Is there ever a time when applying relative page lay out hurts? Does it ever screw things up? If not I’m just going to apply it to all my pages. Let me know when you get the chance. Thank you so much !!

I don’t use it much, so I’m probably not the best person to answer this, but it is an automatic algorithmic tool that re-jigs your entire layout. It is extremely clever, but it cannot read your mind. So it’s not a perfect panacea for converting a drawn-in-place layout into a perfectly flexible, “bulletproof” layout. If you spend enough time fiddling with your input layout, adjusting the spacing and alignment of the elements you’ve drawn so the algorithm can guess your design intent, then it is capable of some fairly miraculous conversions.
All in all, I would say you will get out of it whatever effort you put into using it. If you just apply it blindly and last, then you may be surprised with the output. Best advice is to read the documentation that’s out there, try it out on some simple layouts, then increase the complexity of what you try to build with it as you gain confidence in how it is doing what it does.

I wanted the benefits of RPL and found it a pain. It’s that what persuaded me to start designing inline layouts, which negates where RPL is effectively built in.
