Front Page not holding the format

[Guest]

My Front Page 2000 layout works fine as long as the screen is full size. If
I open the favorites window on the left side of the screen, the web page text
overlaps the web page picture. They don's slide over to the right together
and maintain the page layout. No scroll bar appears on the bottom of the
screen either.

Use tables to structure your page layout instead of absolute positioning of images, etc.

Dear Thomas, Thanks for your answer but I need a little more info. What is
absolute positioning and tables positioning and what are the steps I would
take to reformat each page?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Absolute positioning is where you have dragged the image into it current position which does not
change when browser window is resized from the site you used when you designed the page.

I would start with new page, add a fixed width table of 750 pixels, center, then create my header
row, footer row and sidebar nav column. I would create 3 pages, header.htm, footer.htm and
sidebar.htm, then would then be inserted into the correct row/column using the FP Include Page
component, then would save this new page as template.htm, do not use the Save As "Template" command.

Now I would open template.htm and Save As, index1.htm, then open your original index.htm file and
start copying the content to index1.htm, once complete, close index.htm and then save Index1.htm AS
index.htm overwriting the original index.htm file. Follow these steps each file in your web.

Dear Thomas,

Thanks for the dialogue. I just solved the problem and it was easy. I just
had to highlight all entries on the page (pictures, text, buttons etc.) and
set them to the absolute position and now it all moves over.
Format -- Position -- Absolute

Thanks again for putting me on the track.

What happen when you resize the browser window from the bottom, right to a smaller size?

Just grab any corner of the browser window and resize and see how your content looks.
