Hi
I am a newbie with regards to Freeway and working on replacing my old handmade homepage (2001-2007).
In this layout, there are thin black lines at the end of the fields and also on each side of the big image. I tried a lot, but cannot make them go away.
Probably something very basic, but I do appreciate a hint 
Regards,
Litta

The only black lines I can see are on the sides of the image, and
they seem to be part of the image itself?

Don’t you see anything by the ends of the 8 grey fields?

As Paul said, the black lines are part of the image displayed by the
browser. It is probably being picked up from the page background when
it is processed by Freeway, a not unknown problem. For the grey fields
go to the Inspector and under the third tab along set the Type to PNG
and the Colors to Millions and see if this helps.
However, did you make the grey areas in Freeway or did you import GIFs
from elsewhere? If the latter the black may be on the original image.
In this case, go to the Inspector and set a value for the corner
radius of the graphic box which clips the image more closely.
The way I would produce the grey boxes, however, is to make a rounded
end graphic in solid grey and then an HTML title above it. This means
the title remains accessible to search engines. And you should not get
any black lines.
On the main picture image, a closer crop of the graphic box may do the
trick. Go to Item - Transform in the menu bar and increase the
content size by a very small percentage to see if the black line goes
away.
Hope that’s of some help.

These are caused by the automatic anti-aliasing picking up the
background color of your page, rather than the intervening image
below the buttons. Try selecting each button, and changing the Anti-
alias color from Auto to something in a middle green-grey. This will
solve the problem you are seeing.

Thanks all!
I changed the anti-alias color to grey and it did the trick.
But I warn you ! This is just the first of many questions I am going to ask 
About putting the text on top of the grey box: When I hyperlink the text to another page, will it not be accessible to search engines?
I mean, at that point I thought it would change state, since it is connected to a HTML-object.

Search engines follow links, irrespective of whether they have text
in them or not. But they understand those links better if they have
text in them.
If you have made these graphic text objects within Freeway, then they
will automatically have Alt text, which is as close as you are going
to get in a graphical control. I am not sure if the alt text bubbles
up to become the Title of the link, but you can add that property
yourself in the Hyperlink dialog. Make the link in the usual way,
then with the button still selected, press Apple-K to open the
dialog. There’s a whole world of options in there.
Also, don’t overlook the filename and title of the page you are
linking to. Those are great places to put metadata or descriptive
information about the page contents, which will flavor the links you
make as well. Google in particular pays more attention to the title
and filename of the page you are linking to than the inner text of
the link itself.

Bring 'em on! We love answering questions!
The best bit is once you know a bit, you get to answer the questions
as well.
Welcome to the Freeway family!
