fade action fades to bg colour, not to coloured box below. Gif-text placed above fade actioned image inherits fade behaviour for no reason
random-but-repeatable problems like pasting text to table cell kills application (probably file corruption problem), gif-text sometimes does not antialiase in output (font ZineSlab PS T1)
selecting a table row and trying to set style for cells content prodecus mixed results (would be nice to format text placed in table in bigger chunks!)
setting box width to 100% does not work. Should it? In Camino and Firefox at least box stays original pixel width. (Or is it because there is a page sized mother DIV in the bottom of the layer order which makes all other inherit its width as 100%?)
requests&wishes:
more Adobe-standard interface and/or option to use Adobe shortcuts
force apply style – like InDesign option-click style, without need to clean with “remove styles” command first
applying style to text by activating container only (like table cells or columns, or multiple divs, not only by activating text by text tool)
simple methods or at least tutorials how to make hover/rollover effect for link areas (making a table cell to a link is not W3C compliant I understand, workaround is to use “block” attribute or image element as link)
would there be some simple method for combining graphics? (like grouped images render as one image)
I would like to limit or remove height attribute in table cell/row. There sould be somewhere checkbox for “height can shrink”? Because often text in Freeway is bigger than text in browser and there are then unnecessary empty height.
– text rendering has always been in some cases not-WYSIWYG in Freeway. Seems that actual width vs rendered width problem is solved in 5, but it is still possible to give negative values to space-after-paragraph and space-before-paragraph settings in styles which render wildly different in Freeway and browser.
Freeway keeps getting better. Getting DIVs behave normal (i.e. grow when needed) is essential. And there seem to be less and less need for extended as Freeway handles more attributes direct. Still had to add some custom code to one project to make IE6 respect centered page/centered bg-image commands.
I hope you get Freeway soon stable and coherent.
BTW, I sent lot of this as bug report (form).
Uncheck the layer the tick box for a table, and you can tick, “height will shrink”.

Box width @ 100% works for in Firefox for me - as long as page align is set no none
Uh oh. So it does. But I want to center my page. I think there is nothing in HTML spec to prevent 100% box AND center page?

What?? What prevents flexible tables in layer mode?
I need tables for keeping items in place – in relation to each other (yes, it is more or less tabular material). There should be no reason why layer table could not behave like “grounded” table.
If you want a centered page, the page has to have a width. Otherwise,
there is nothing to center.
If you want the look of a centered page but still have some 100%
elements, try the following (not guaranteed to work, just off the top
of my head). This is to make a page with a 100% header and footer,
and a centered fixed-width middle.
Set the page to Align: none.
Draw an HTML box the width of the page where you want your header
to be. Set its width to 100% in the Inspector. Give it color, height,
whatever as you like.
Click inside it to gain a text cursor and choose Insert > HTML
Item from the main menu. Select this inline element and give it
width, margin=auto, height, color, and content to form your header.
Repeat to make the body area and (optional) a footer.
Make sure that the layers of your cake have a defined height and that
there is enough room for the middle slice to grow if necessary.
This should let you have the look you want. There are probably
additional possibilities here, mostly to do with inserting additional
inline elements into one or more of these 100% width slices. It’s
worth experimenting with this construction technique, as it opens up
all sorts of design options.
