HELP PLEASE

THANKS !

I cut the box in 2
and took the photo out of the box
still goofy
will try this next
delete and remake Ed info
(to keep the alignment the same
I copied the person above and edited the text
SHOULD have worked
as it does on the main page = but not mobile??????

Hi 3D, I can confirm this dogs dinner in mobile view but I do see the photo.

Could you attach your xar/web file?

really nuts
deleted the whole text box
made a new one
and STILL breaks in mobile view
(just him. no one else_)

depends on which 'version' - I uploaded a few
here is latest'
changed Ed title to Manager (not director)

I even deleted ALL files from the server
uploaded fresh
refresh browser
tried different browser
ARGH

my version is Xara Designer Pro X 17.0.0.58732 DL x64 Mar 12 2020

hmmm
beginning to think the culprit is THE PROGRAM itself
1st I just tried to UNCLIP the photo
no change
Then changed the font to ARIA
(ie not tahomo - or whatever)
it prints out times roman
(i also changed to left along vs justify
at least now not jumbled
buy why off the page?
Attachment 127757

edited OUT the photo
words still shifted all to the right???

well == MAKES NO SENSE
changed to ALIGN RIGHT
looks little 'silly'
but at least it is not corrupted

still appreciate if some GENIUS out there can help me
this should have been 10 minutes
nor 3 hours of debugging

THANKS!

Hope this helps:

Here's another mumbling-bumbling video on the three types of text types in Xara that may help if you've got the stamina ;)

wow !!!THANKS SOOOOO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO
1. I never made layers on purpose ... they just happened
i think when I made copies, of existing photos/text boxes etc
and then repasted

Often, the pasted items would 'disappear' (well -- NOT appear)
and I would 'find' them hidden in a 'lower' layer

ok - I will go learn layers
this is my first website using XARA
this is a GREAT program
had been making by hand coding since 1990? and moved to NetObjects v.6 (1993?) all the way to v15

anyway - WILL learn layers
betting something in a 'hidden' layer was causing my grief
but odd the right align ... sort of fixed it




I really really appreciate the time you took to make me a video =D>


ps
the java error - have no idea where that came from
I never added any java
I think from one of the 'fancy' photo things I fetched from the online gallery

also - the different cursor types? Not done by me on purpose
I did notice it and it confused me as well
will research that also!

Glad to of been of assistance 3D. Layers can be a pain to grasp as can be the three types of Text in Xara. But they make things so much simpler when you grasp the concept ;)

watched your text video - ty
will learn more
this is not my full-time JOB (NOT even part-time)
just make for my self and friends
it is FUN - when it WORKS
and HELL -- when it does not
this forum has been a lifesaver
THANKS AGAIN !!!

;)

@TD

You have a quite a few gremlins in your document - it was easier to rebuild your mobile variant than to chase each one down and fix it.

Some pointers to help:

1. Consolidate your content (unless you need to do otherwise) on the MouseOff layer - I would not spread content across additional layers or place layers below the MouseOff layer, unless for a specific reason.

2. For the About page, for each person I would use a Text Area (not Text Column) and place the photo over the text with 'Repel text under'.

3. Delete you mobile variant - copy and paste the content from the attached XAR.

4. Create a mobile text style (whole pixels) - it makes it easier when your format text.

If this works you can adjust the style, page colours etc., to be consistent with your main desktop variant.

Should you still see errors, I would rework your desktop variant.

Hopefully, this gets you over the line.

DID NOT DO ONPURPSE - not even know how that happened
2. For the About page, for each person I would use a Text Area (not Text Column) and place the photo over the text with 'Repel text under'.
did not know the difference -- we will learn - TY

3. Delete you mobile variant - copy and paste the content from the attached XAR. ok! ty

not know about this - -will learn

@TD: Try this - delete your mobile variant from your original XAR; check the desktop previews without error (else you have a gremlin in that too). Next create a new mobile variant for your XAR, select everything on each page of the mobile variant, apply 'stop sharing with variants' and delete all content.

Check your desktop variant still previews without error, then copy and paste in place from the clean mobile variant.

Hopefully, you finish with a clean site!

Gary

sounds ok
1 obvious question
you said to delete my mobile variant of existing .xar
I saw DISCARD as an option when I rt clicked the mobile variant tab
is that how I 'delete' it?

hmmm... how do you make a mobile variant>?
I think mine came via a template when I made the original site

guess now that I am getting smarter??? I can make a WHOLE new site
one piece at a time?
but, still want to know how to delete and make a mobile variant as you suggested

@TD

You can add and delete variants through Utilities / Web Variants / - the default for a mobile variant is 480px (w) and seems to work OK (on my sites).

I have removed the variant in your original file; desktop worked without error. I have created a new mobile variant, stopped sharing with variants and deleted all content.

You have a clean doc, so open up both copy and paste in place.

Gary

ok - thanks
but why are my options under / Web Variants / GREYED OUT??

Look down the list of 'greyed out' options to see it.

I have found the source of your javascript error (and removed it) - you had a stray table underneath some text. I found your underlying problem with the one people picture; it was on the pasteboard layer, not on the MouseOff layer.

I have combined both variants and all now appears to be working - you will have to add back some of your styling. Where you want to change the Page/ Pasteboard colour, just drag your choice from, the colour bar - job done.

Sent some beers to London SW13 :)

Gary

summary
all done
site fixed
TY

ps
when select all from site 1
and dump into site 2
it 'misses'
so I have to drag and position
(easy)
BUT
how can I select the control point and the insertion point
(for next times)

thanks again to you and Egg

lol
just now saw this last one from you
(v2)
will install later as all is ok now
My partner and I are setting up an office in London
so drop me a PM and we can arrange a pnit or 2 =:)
cheers!
