SMARTPHONE APPEARANCE

Can anyone tell me why my sites always ranges to the left on smartphones even though are centred when viewing everywhere else? Am I missing something (an action?)

thanks

You are missing a link so we can see this for ourselves… even television
CSI need a body to solve the case :slight_smile:

Thanks for the link :slight_smile:

I don’t think I have time at the moment to dissect your page… there is just
so much going on with it that it’s going to take (me, anyways) a while to
figure out. It really is better to test designs before you add all the
animations and menus and stuff. The background image is not a background
for one thing, but an actual image placed behind stuff. You have mixed
layout tables in with layered html divs, the device meta setting and all
your other widths are all fixed so I doubt the design can be made
smartphone friendly.

I recommend duplicating the page and then pulling out as much of the
whiz-bang as possible and work on that. If you can get it to fit properly,
then add the fancy stuff back in a bit at a time.

Best luck…

without any deeper investigation:

In a page-construction, that is based on absolute positioning (centered page with fixed width), an item or master-object NEVER can exceed its page-width.

Thanks Guys,

How would you go about getting the graduated blue background to appear to the full width of the screen? I just drew a graphic box as wide as possible and added background fades etc?

thanks

Hi Ian,

if it is the head-area, it could be done by creating a small slice (10px wide and as high as necessary) of a gradient made in photoshop (or similar) and apply this as the page window-background (inspector second tab) with vertical-top, horizontal tiling.

You can try this (it’s exactly your bg :-):

This is stretching the gradient all across the page without any further item applied. But this route is only possible for the top areas of a page - so exactly what you need.

But basically I go anyway another page-construction route which is based on percentage widths of my items (inline-constructions).

Cheers
