Centering Form With Master Page

[lpug]

Hi Pablo,

I have created a form and attached a master frame with it, i.e. a header and a footer. Does the footer not see the form as content? because the footer is hard-up the header and the form is not centered and there appears to be lots of vertical padding from the top as can be seen by here:

I have cloned the same page not using the master page and you can see the horizontal and vertical alignment is fine.
With the master page I have disabled and enabled centre page horizontally to see if it made a difference and it didnt, any idea what could be causing this?

I'm sorry, I cannot see what you have done based on the HTML only.
To be able to help you I need your project file.

Pablo here is the project file

Preview test1 page with master_frame, then disable master_frame and preview. Centering is incorrect, I think this is my problem with the sensitivity issue aswell.

Thanks

The footer is set to 'floating'. But the form is fixed. That is why footer is not moved.
You will need to set the footer to 'Default' or make all other content floating. For example, by using layout grids/floating layers.

What about the centering ? the form is not centered and there is heaps of padding between header and form. I stopped using the layout grid because the form had problems as you mentioned in my previous post.

- the master frame does not have the same breakpoints as the content page.
- the master frame uses layout grids (floating), the form is using fixed layout.
- the master frame is not set to 'center in browser'

Please read this to learn more about the different layout methods:

To prevent confusion, use one method for the page.

The reason why the form did not work is unrelated to using layout grids. it is (most likely) caused by overlapping objects.

Also make sure you have the latest update which has lot of improvements.

Thanks Pablo, I understand my master page is using layout grids. Is it ok that my master page uses layout grids but the content holder within this page cannot be inserted into a grid. The tutorial also says that if you use layout grids you shouldn't set your page properties to centre in browser, regardless though it made no difference for me.

Thanks I'll keep persisting

You will need to use the same layout method for both pages. if the content page uses fixed layout then it will not look right. Fixed layout will not follow the document 'flow'
So, either make the elements on the master frame fixed or the form floating.

Correct, but because you are using fixed layout for the form, that is why it is not centered.
