Hil & wishing you all a Happy 2010!
I am currently using Xtreme 5, continuing to design and tweak the appearance of my website.
I have been trying for a long time now, to (exactly) position Text Boxes and other Objects (eg buttons etc). I want some objects to occupy an identical positon on each page so that when moving to different pages within my website, those things appear to be in a static/fixed position. When using "repeating objects", that is not a problem, but that approach is often not the appropriate method for what I want? In particular, right now, I am first "selecting" the target text box and then adjusting the coordinates. I have been using the X, Y, W, and H pixel number coordinate settings, but I must be doing something incorrectly? Sometimes, when I put in the numbers, eg X-170, Y150, W600 and H560 it works perfectly, but every now and again (and on a different webpage), each time I enter different numbers, all the other numbers move too (usually just a little bit) which I can't seem to stop happening? The aspect ratio in all cases is 100% and I unlock the "aspect ratio" padlock each time and then re-lock it after I get the correct result. I've tried a variety of other things too, without success.
Hope that all makes sense, and probably someone has a good answer for this frustrating problem (can't find reference in help or elsewhere).
Many thanks,
Rikko
