Viewing Text positioning oddity

Text positioning oddity



User: John P. 9 years ago
I've noticed a very strange issue with text on published pages not showing up in the same position as within the Everweb page layout screens. Take a look at the following screen shots.

First (in the page that shows "Collection"), the layout of several horizontally distributed and centered text boxes in Everweb. Each text box contains Arial Bold text, with hyperlinks. The smaller text boxes are 24 pixels high and positioned at y=106 with Allow Free Dragging checked.

The text boxes are rendered as expected in a web browser, all centered with the larger text on the left. So far, so good!

Now, let's look at a slightly different page...

Here (in the page that shows "Gallery"), the text boxes are again horizontally distributed and centered within Everweb. Again, each text box contains Arial Bold with hyperlinks, 24 pixels high and positioned at y=106 with Allow Free Dragging checked.

But when this page (and others using the same string of text boxes) is viewed locally in a bowser, the boxes containing the smaller text are no longer centered with the larger text box, offset by around 8 pixels or so.

The one difference that stands out between the pages is that there is white space between the boxes in the first case. However, replicating the white space or even eliminating all boxes except one, results in the same problem.

I've also tried clearing my browser cache, but to no avail. Kind of at a loss here as to what could be contributing to the mispositioning of the text, though I suspect it has something to do with relative positioning of objects, maybe?

Anyone else encounter similar unexpected results?

Try reducing the width of the individual boxes and spacing them out a little.

Try making sure that the line height is set to 1 under Text Settings in the Inspector. Sometimes different line heights cause problems like these.
