Headers/Footers
You may have pages in your site of varying lengths and want some repeating objects to be positioned
relative to the top of each page and others (e.g. footers) positioned relative to the bottom of each page.
You can configure Xara Web Designer 7 Premium to do this, so header and footer repeating objects will
move with respect to the top and bottom of each page.
The position of a repeating object on the page determines whether it is considered to be a header or
footer. If any part of the object is in the top half of the page, Xara Web Designer 7 Premium treats it as a
header and will move it to the same position relative to the top of each page.
Objects entirely in the bottom half of the page are treated as footers and Xara Web Designer 7 Premium
positions them relative to the bottom of each page, irrespective of page length.
For some repeating objects, this automatic decision making about whether the object should be
positioned relative to the top or bottom of pages may be inappropriate. So if required you can force any
repeating object to be positioned relative to the top or bottom of pages by right clicking on it and
choosing "Repeat position" > "Top" or "Repeat position" > "Bottom".
To restore normal automatic positioning behavior to a repeating object, right click it and choose "
Repeat position" > "Automatic"
.
Stopping objects repeating
Right click an object and choose Stop updating to turn off the repeating nature of an object, or all of its
copies in your website. Choosing Stop updating from the Arrange menu also allows this.
You'll be asked whether you want to just stop the selected object repeating or all copies of the object in
the website. Choose the All
option. Now the different copies of that object can be independently edited and the next time one is
changed it won't update any of them.
Use this if, for example, you've used Repeat on all pages
to copy an object to all pages of your website, but then you want to make those objects different on
each page so that they are no longer tied together.
Stop updating is also useful if you want to make a copy of a repeating object (eg. a footer or logo) on
one page and you don't want that copy to be updated. In this case choose the Just this copy
option when prompted.
Note that you can't use Stop updating on Navbars which have the Site navigation bar option turned
on in the Navbar dialog. That's because site navigation bars always update across the whole website.
See the Navigation Bar chapter
for more information on site navigation bars.
Deleting repeating objects
If you don't want a copy of the repeating object on a page, just delete it from that page. Xara Web
Designer 7 Premium displays a prompt asking whether to delete just that copy or all copies of that
repeating object.
Pressing "Ctrl + Delete" will delete just the selected repeating object without
asking whether you want to delete all instances or just this one.
