I’m trying to upgrade a web page design from being a form to being an xpage.
The problem that I’m having is that the site design was one that was bought off of the web. The design is laid out in the css and I was able to then copy all of the html and css to a form and then sprinkle in the necessary Domino elements (fields, computed fields, views, etc).
I’m hoping to move all of this to an xpage so that I can leverage the power of the new features (we’re doing more and more work with ajax). The problem that I’m having is that the original design involves a bunch of fragment images that make up the background on the page (the css puts it together). The css also put together the HTML areas. I think that I need/want to get away from this so that I can arrange the structure in the Designer GUI itself.
I do have the orignal photoshop psd’s and I was able to make a singular background image. I made this the background of an xpage and it appeared to work. The only problem is that the background did not stretch across the width of the browser nor would it allow me to scroll down.
Any ideas with how I can reconfigure a largely html-based and css-based site into something that is xpage friendly?
