One Grid Too Many

Post by StudentDonald »

OK, I’m having a sanity check about all of this. So I have a few questions. :| :?

(Info is scattered over many places. I would like to see one document that covers all grids. Just what it does in general terms and when-where used. No need for all the details. You have that covered already.)

1.) ln the “Getting started with Flexbox” tutorial there is a screen shot of an object called “FlexBox Container”, but no such item in the toolbox. So is this the Flex Container in the Toolbox or an option inside the layout grid, or both?

2.) The flexbox option within the layout grid is commonly known as the CSS Flexible Box Layout?

3.) The css grid option within the layout grid is commonly known as the CSS Grid Layout?

4.) In WB help, flex grid subject you have link to w3schools that calls flex grid (toolbar) CSS Grid Layout. Item 3 has a link to the same title @caniuse?

5.) So the flex grid(in WB) is different from the other grid features in that you can cover a whole page with rows AND columns with some control of their behavior?

6.) In a few places it states: “The position of a layout grid can either be floating (default) or fixed. When fixed, the layout grid will be fixed to the top of the page. This can be useful to create a page header which is always visible.” So how does one have a grid fixed at the bottom or not snap to the top of the page or up to the next object?

7.) Can you use master page/frame feature with the flex grid? (As in question five.)

Thanks a lot!

1) The flex container object is located in the Toolbox under Layout. Should also be able to click on 'insert' and it's under the layout option.

2) The flexbox option will use flexbox properties in the grids. It will allow you to vertically align items using a layout grid and an entire column can be filled with a background.

3) Uses CSS's grid layout. This is pretty new and only supported by modern browsers so no IE11!

4) Not sure what your question is.

5) You can cover a whole page using a layout grid. Flexgrid (CSS grid) is a new way of creating flexible layouts using a grid system along with flexbox. Yes, you can cover the whole page and have more flexibility on how the columns and rows will be in breakpoints.

6) Layout grids by default will float. If you add a new layout grid, it will appear below the layout grid above and so on. There is no option to have it fixed at the bottom, however with a little CSS code you can make it happen.

7) Yes
