Any coding or anything to help this page land vertical center? On my Iphone it lands to the left and I tried changing a few things and I think I made it worse! And I know it's mobile friendly and not exact but this I find irritating!

Worked on the 1st and 2nd page to see if I could fix it myself but no luck!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Sue, perhaps you could attach your index page for us to comment further ;)
Hi Egg. I tried but it gave me an error (invalid file). It was the index.htm.
Help!
No Sue, attach your web or xar file ;)
Attachment 124350Ahhh, gotcha. Okay, will give that a go!Quote:

DEMO without menu
So on the mobile, you do have a menu, and it operates differently and I don't mind that but I have no idea how to do that.Quote:

Thanks so much.
Sue, I don't have the problem of the site not being central, but, the mobile menu is on the MouseOver layer and is therefore invisible.
Still looking through to see if anything is overhanging and pushing it to the left, but as I say, it looks central to me in the preview and in FireFox.
I quickly jumped through all the pages, and they all centred nicely. Safari maybe??

@ Chris. It's not so much on a desktop reduced browser window but on a mobile browser that the wrongly aligned display becomes apparent.
@ Sue. I don't know how you created your menu on the mobile site but suspect you just downsized the desktop version. Menus with sub menus & sub-sub menus can become very wide indeed and I suspect this is the main issue with your mobile variant. I just found deleting your mobile menu removed the overly wide page issue.
My demo link at first posting didn't have a menu, but later I amended the site to include one, just made by screen-grabs of the navbar window. It was just rough & ready to give a navbar to check all pages. (The map page did still show the oversized page as the Google Map placeholder code was oversized).
I've attached my amended xar file of your site so hopefully you can pull it apart.
Let me know when your happy & I'll delete the demo of your site from my server.
Yes, Egg, that's how someone at the beginning told me to create the mobile friendly nav bar with the hamburger. Please tell me what the right way is to do the mobile nav bar?Quote:

I read what you wrote on the nav bar page but I don't quite get everything you are saying in it. You are a doll who goes above and beyond!
And Chris, Egg is correct. Only had issues on the cell phone itself and thanks for your contribution to try to help me!

UNFORTUNATELY THIS SUGGESTION DOES NO WORK RIGHT NOW APOLOGIES. WILL REPOST.
Sue, another way to create a mobile menu to match your standard Xara NavBar is to recreate a button over Mobile Menu & MouseOver Mobile Menu layers, and create a Xara standard NavBar on the Mobile Menu layer. As you cannot copy and paste a NavBar to different layers, you link your Mobile Menu to all your pages. This auto-populates the Mobile Menu on the correct layers for each page. You can then simply edit the Mobile Menu (on the index page); add, delete and change in the normal; everything syncs across the site.
It is much more tricky than than having your hamburger point to a mobile page, but your welcome to take a look at my Mod3 as an idea: I have discovered all this by trial and error, but this and the mobile page menu all work very well and give you readable menus. I did not get any bounce to the left on the mobile variant.
A variation on Egg's mobile menu page solution; this time it should work as expected. It could be improved for sure with a hand-crafted mobile menu, but certainly easier to manage than Menu /Mouseover layers ( I have the latter working on my sites, just failed to implement it correctly in the previous post). Apologies, still baffled!
Thanks Initiostar for showing me what you've done. I got mine to work by redoing it. I think the one I did is nice and clean and easy for non-web people to maneuver around and not too distracting on the page.Quote:

Looking good Sue.
In my opinion the menu is to small for my old eyes but with a sub-sub menu structure your stuck with this ;)
Really, too small? I'll ask some of their Board members to check it out and let me know. I wear glasses and it looked fine to me...thanks for sharing!Quote:

Interesting, Egg. I have the 6 and it looks like what you posted. Our phones are small...so it's really hard to make a mobile nav with all those pages and make it easy for people who aren't internet savvy!Quote:

So my suggestion is just to use sub-menus only. Why have 'clergy's' in the 'About' button in a sub-sub menu, your whole site is about your synagogue ?
Personally I prefer to have a separate Menu page and avoid the Xara's navbar option in a mobile variant site.
This one uses pop-up layers.

There's still an issue with this which I trying to chase down.
I think your problem is that you needed to make a simpler mobile version of the site. That is the beauty of what Xara can do. Simplify the mobile and leave all that menus to the main desktop site.
OK, but for me it's a big problem for now, to determine the approximate cost for building hairdressing salon websites, and as well to understand what feature of my potential new website should be there, and what feature shouldn't. I mean building a website from scratch, of course with all the security things to avoid hacking of databases, etc. Cause our clients wouldn't pleased of that.
What databases?Quote:
