Hi!
I'm trying to align items on my webpage, but for some reason the alignment button on the Xara toolbar, which I've always used in Xara in the past (for non-webpage purposes) is greyed out.
Is this normal for designing webpages, or is there some way I can change it?
The only thing I can think is that maybe alignment doesn't work if I have objects on the webpage set to "push"?
Could it be that the objects that you're trying to align are on a locked layer?
WEL, if you have added the Alignment icon from the Button Palette to a custom Toolbar, you will see the icon as three thin white boxes.
When you click that or press Shift+Ctrl+L, the Object Alignment Dialog opens and the white icon boxes grey out.
I suppose you could also activate the Align Toolbar - same action occurs with that.
Push is not a factor.

Thank you for your feedback. Based on what you said, it appeared to me that Xara itself had gone wonky. I restarted the program, and magically the align button in my taskbar (which was previously permanently greyed out no matter what I did [I didn't have the pop-up box open anywhere]) suddenly started working again.
I've had this problem when using dual monitors. I may have moved the alignment window to the second monitor and either for not looking on that monitor or having it switched off the arrange option/alignment is greyed out as it's already open but not immeadiately visible.
