What is it that you want to edit?
BTW - this particular section is really for PHP/Database questions. A question on the main FreewayTalk section will probably get more responses.

The thing you’ll need to get your head around here is that Freeway
generates code, but it can’t read it. It’s like Rain Man in that
regard, only instead of counting toothpicks, it writes inhumanly-
perfect HTML code.
So while you are in the design view of Freeway, you see a visual
representation of the Freeway object model of your design. Not the
HTML – that’s an artifact, and doesn’t even exist in any real sense
while you are designing.
When you publish (the nearest equivalent would be like when you print
from QuarkXPress or InDesign) the latest version of your design is
transparently converted to HTML and saved to a text file. Each time
you change the design, the same thing happens – so changes made to
your HTML file after Freeway generates it are not considered or rolled
back into the design. Rather they are like the sheets of paper that
come out of the printer: artifacts of how the design looked at one
moment in time, but they are not the design itself.
Now, with that bit of theory out of the way, what is it you are trying
to accomplish using code? If you post a link to your page, and
describe what you’re trying to accomplish, one of us can give you the
“Freeway Way” to do it.
Freeway represents a superset of HTML, not the other way around.
Anything you can do in HTML can be done in Freeway, usually without
resorting to code. But if you do need to hand-code part of your site,
there are ways to do it that respect and work with the document model,
rather than trying to swim upstream.

Im having an issue with the footer…In the inspector, its checked off “width can grow”, but it wont repeat or run across the bottom. When selected, its listed as an HTML item and says footer, but i cant get the darn thing to repeat across…

Is your page set to align at all, by any chance? Click on the
pasteboard somewhere blank and look in the Inspector at the left-most
tab. Mid-way down, there’s a picker labeled Align. If this is set to
anything other than None, you will need to construct your page a
little differently in order to get the footer to fill the screen left
to right.

I just tried this: Draw an HTML box on the page spanning entirely from
left to right on your page. Ensure that the Layer checkbox is not
ticked. Give this box a background color. Switch to the Output tab of
the Inspector and tick Width Can Grow. Preview, and you’ll see that it
spans the entire width of your screen no matter how you resize the
browser window.

Hey Walter, that’s what ive been working with.
I dont have this issue if i want a box along the page, as long as i stick with choosing a background color, and not an image. I also dont seem to have the option of this as my footer, stuck to the bottom of the page. For the main page, I have an image as my header, which is perfect and exactly what i want for my footer, but i dont seem to be able to have both, as well as my background image for the page…
Properties for the image Im trying to make my repeat footer are Image/tile/bottom with the width can grow box checked.

Okay, you can add the image as a background and make it tile easily.
With the box selected, remove the background color. Now switch to the
Style tab of the inspector (second from the left) and choose your
background image. While you’re in that dialog, you should see the
tiling controls for the image.
If you want to pin the footer to the bottom of the screen, all you
need to do is change it from a non-layer to a layer. In the Inspector,
set its bottom position to be 0 and left to be 0, and width to be 100%
(just type the % sign in there, and it will stick). This layer will
float over any other content on your page, so you need to plan for
that by creating some dummy spacer content near the bottom so you
don’t lose the last footer-height of your content.

Well, try this: Position your footer the way you have, but put a big long run of text on the page in a single HTML box. That box will effectively run under your footer (or over it, depending on the stacking order). If the text runs long enough, you won’t be able to read the last part of it because it will be covered by the footer. So the trick is to insert an empty graphics box inline in your text box after the last line of text. Make this box the height that your footer is, and it will shove the bottom of the page down far enough to allow the footer its own vertical space.

Hey Walter, can i ask what would happen to the footer if this wasn’t created???

Nothing, but you might not be able to see the last N pixels of your
page content (where N is the height of the footer).

It depends on how your page was made (what construction technique you
used, whether inline or positioned boxes). Try enlarging the text in
the browser (in Safari, you’ll have to set the ‘Zoom enlarges text
only’ preference somewhere first, or you won’t notice anything wrong)
and see if the text goes shooting under the bottom of your footer. If
so, then adding a clear GIF to the bottom of your last text box, set
to be at least as tall as your footer, will fix things up for you.
