How do I enable vertical scrolling when viewing a web page?

lee-w wrote on 1/6/2022, 10:43 AM

Just purchased Web Designer Premium ver. 18. I created a web page. When attempting to preview it, it appeared as a very skinny page, displaying the entire page on my browser. Like most web pages, I expected a full width page with a vertical scroll bar allowing me to scroll the page. How do I turn on verticall scrolling? Thanks.

Hi

If you are using the Preview page option from within the program, this sounds like you are viewing the mobile version of the web page - ensure you have the 'Main' version selected to view the page correctly in the preview browser.

Thank you John for responding. I have looked and looked but am unable to find where to select the 'main' version. Please help again. Thanks, Lee.

Hi

Do you have 2 accounts in the forum - ie lee-w and Lee-Wise if so please note that multiple accounts are not allowed under the Community rules - link is at the bottom of the page.

If the template you started with is not a 'supersite', then you should have at least 2 tabs in the project window - see red circled tabs in the image below.

I didn't create two accounts intentionally. One email provider is going away next month, and I am trying to move over to another email provider. Sorry about that.

If you tell one of us who is a Moderator exactly which account you wish to keep we can delete the other one for you.

Thanks, Jeff, but I have already emailed Magix with that issue. I hope they can get it straightened out for me.

Back to John EB's second response... I had to start with a new file, since I cannot download anything from the magix website. Please see my other post. Meanwhile, I have tried creating just a rectangle on a single page. I find that I cannot make the rectangle scroll, either. Also, I cannot make sense of the page definitions either. If I specify a page width of 1200 pixels and a height of 900 pixels. I see in the design window a vertical rectangle, not a horizontal rectangle.

FYI, I have a 500-page website on line using html, css, and javascript. I'm not exactly a newbee to web page design. I was hoping to make a template that I could use to crank out pages faster. Web Designer Premium is presenting a challenge, not a fast solution...

Hi

. . . .  I have a 500-page website on line using html, css, and javascript. I'm not exactly a newbee to web page design. I was hoping to make a template that I could use to crank out pages faster. . . . .

Taking a step backwards - was this created with Xara Web Designer, another program, or is it a WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or other CMS (PHP/MySQL) based site?

John,

I wrote the code myself. It was done with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It is all custom code, and is a genealogy website. The URL is https://www.christliebfamilyassociation.com You will see that my blog uses Wordpress, but it is not used very much at all.

Folks,

I am still waiting for suggestions on how to enable vertical scrolling for a web page designed in Web Designer Premium.

Thanks!
