Advanced Tab

Note: In version 3.6+ the Width and Position controls have been made more accessible, and are located in the layout section in the advanced tab of a widget, as a result, the positioning section has been removed.

Layout

  1. Margin: Set the Margin of the selected element in PX, EM, REM or %
  2. Padding: Set the Padding of the selected element in PX, EM, REM or %
  3. Width: Select the width of the element, choosing from Full Width (100%), Inline (auto), or Custom.
    1. Width (Value): Only available if Custom is chosen. Use the slider or enter a value in PX, %, or VW to adjust the width of the element within the column.
    2. Vertical Align: Only available if Full Width (100%), Inline (auto), or Custom is chosen. Select to display the element at the Start, Center, or End.
  4. Position: This option allows you to select absolute or fixed positioning for your element. If using the absolute or fixed positioning, you may manually enter the numeric X and Y positions in the Horizontal and Vertical Offset scales
    1. Default Position: The element is in its natural state, positioned merely by the natural flow of the page. This is the default position of all elements.
    2. Absolute Position: The element is positioned absolutely to its first positioned parent.
    3. Fixed Position:Set your widget to have a fixed position and place it in a custom position. The element will stay fixed in that position as the page is scrolled. The element is positioned relative to the user’s viewport.
    4. Additional Controls: If either Absolute or Fixed are selected, the following options also become available.
      1. Horizontal Orientation: Sets the horizontal reference point for the absolute positioning, with choices of either Start or End.
        1. Offset: Changes the horizontal reference point by the amount of the offset
      2. Vertical Orientation: Sets the vertical reference point for the absolute positioning, with choices of either Start or End.
        1. Offset: Changes the vertical reference point by the amount of the offset
  1. Z-index: Set the Z-Index. Learn more about Z-Index
  2. CSS ID: Set a CSS ID for your section
  3. CSS Classes: Set CSS Classes for your section

Tip: Confused between Sticky and Fixed? Sticky is a scrolling effect which is relative to the section it’s placed in. Fixed position, however, is relative to the user viewport.

Note:  Absolute positioning is not the recommended method for building web page layouts. Having said that, it does come in handy in many situations where you want to position the various page elements more freely.

Tip: If the Width property is set using Full Width, Inline, or Custom rather than the Default, a blue indicator will be shown in the Navigator. By hovering over these indicators, it will allow you to identify items that use custom positioning or CSS.
