Viewing 5000 Content Position Limit

5000 Content Position Limit



User: Larry D. 11 years ago
I am coping over an iWeb web site, which has 35 pages, most of which are over 5000 pixels tall.

The problem I am having is that when I exceed 5000 pixel "Y" position and I try and move the object or align it, it jumps up to the 5000 "y" pixel position, often way above where I am working.

Also, I can't set the page Height to a number greater than 5000.

This is very annoying as trying to position objects by dragging them is difficult even I check the box "allow free dragging" in the Metrics tab, as they want to jump align with other objects.

Is there a work around?

I can set the content height to max 9999.

But an object at that position still shows Y at max 5000.

But when published the position of that object is correct.

Solution could be to use a background image with horizontal lines with numbers at 100px interval to have a visual indication of the position.

And if 9999 is not enough, drag an object down, and down, and down, and down.

Jumbo, you are right it does allow me to set content height to more than 5000, but not the page height. But that doesn't solve the problem I described in the original post.

Still looking for an answer.
