The first page from your website is at te most servers index, the page extension can html,php,asp etc .

With the php code I cannot help you,but I think you need something like new height is iframe height in the code.

An easy solution is to use the same bg color as the bottom from you bg image than you dont have to expand the height from your image.

I dont know if its possible to make it work in xhtml.

You can try with this html doctype:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Empty the doctype in page properties and insert the doctype above in: Page html-->between head tag.

Its the same if you use another extension what not works in FF or safari and your extension das not work in google chrome with doctype XHTML

A script what is build for doctype XHTML wil not work in doctype HTML what you can try is to give the doctype an url.

You can try with this html doctype:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">


Empty the doctype in page properties (Document type: None) and insert the doctype above in: Page html-->between head tag.

The new "content place holder" & "master frame" option in WB 6 and above does add some built in dynamic capacity to pages.

but as the original option in this thread no longer works I think this thread really should not be a "sticky" any more or an updated thread with options for dynamic pages replaces it asap.

Master pages and content place holders cannot be used together.
Content Placer Holders can only be used in combination with Master Frames.

Also please do not use this topic for support question which are not related to the original article. It's getting a little confusing this way :?

The problem is not WYSIWYG Web Builder 7.
The code doesn't work because it's not W3C compliant.

What you are asking is not possible in a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get web site editor.
Since all objects are positioned absolute, they cannot be repositioned dynamically based on the content of another object. This can only be done with table based layouts.

From the author:

My apologies to those who have had difficulties getting this code to work more recently. Indeed, the original code and sample .wbs file, written in 2007, was no longer compatible with later versions of WWB and/or the HTML language. I have found a solution and have replaced the initial zip file with an updated one. The link is repeated here for convenience: http://www.cardiackids.com/wysiwyg/dyna ... length.zip

As before, it has been tested with Internet Explorer.

Good luck on all your projects.

this is because the scrollheight function is not fully supported by all browsers.
i.e. it was introduced later in IE in version 8.
in some browsers you can access it via .contentWindow.document in others via .contentDocument in other browsers is not supported at all and so on....
regards.

I think you will be told again by support that is simply not possible with the way WB works - as you know similar questions get asked frequently.

You can use Layers to scale objects. However it defeats the whole purpose of the software. WYSIWYG Web Builder is a What-You-See-Is-What-Get web design tool. It was created to design pixel perfect layouts, not fluid layouts. This is extensively document is all available documentation. And it's not our intention to go back to old fashioned (table based) layouts, because then you would no longer be able to overlap objects and also we would have to remove many of the other cool features that make WYSIWYG Web builder what it is today.

If you really want to build fluid layouts then I suggest you take a look at the HTML textbox extension, which is basically a traditional HTML editor which can be used inside your pages.
