Hi. I have just written a new site template in Dynamic HTML Editor v1.8 with a footer text box below the main body text box. Can anyone tell me what code I need to add to make the footer box stay below the body text box when I make a fresh page with more body text than the template had? My new page has the footer box in its original position but it's now halfway down my new body text box and I need it moved down the page to the bottom. Does that make sense to anyone?!

Do I need to specify some kind of alignment tag or code, or does the footer box have to be moved manually (with a calculation as to its new co-ordinates) each time?

Many thanks,
Martin.

Hello Martin,

sorry but version 1.8 of Dynamic HTML Editor can place elements only using absolute positiong so you have to move manually your footer for each page.
The next version will permits you to create a relative positioned footer so it will be translated to bottom if the content of body changes.

you can enclose all the footer contents into a DIV HTML tag and modify the style by hands writing style="position:relative"

Martin,

not sure I understood you, but what we did was to create a generic Dynamic HTML Editor page (Menu.dhe) that contained footers and logos etc. The created another template page (carefully positioned so menu didnt overlap, and then used the template for all other pages. Saved them as Dynamic HTML Editor, then inserted Dynamic HTML Editor objecty (menue.dhe) and exported as HTML. Dont save the combination of both dhe pages as it mucks up the template system.
