[Pro] Rulers - accurate depth of html text boxes

Freeway
1

I’m having a little trouble accurately placing a graphic item across the base of a page (FW6) below an HTML text box.

In this page the FW rulers indicate the top of the graphic ad across the base is only 15 pixels below the base of the text box.

I can overcome this by trial and error, juggling the position of the graphic until it looks right when published, even though in the Freeway document the text usually appears to overflow the top of the graphic.

I get similar results in both CSS and Table layout modes.

What am I doing wrong?

In this page the FW rulers indicate the top of the graphic ad across the base is only 15 pixels below the base of the text box.

Different browsers will render text at different sizes at make your HTML text box grow/shrink. Never mind what a user has his default text size set to display at.

The only really accurate way to do this is to use in inline construction method that will push your footer graphic down the page when text size increases.

Or a Table layout which does not allow overlapping items.

There is also the FW RPL action which goes a long way to creating an inline layout for you.

Or you could try Make A Footer
