Static Text Box (Latest News)

The static text box provides a few features that would be difficult to create without advanced CSS integration. So we've created a the Static text box to help you display information that you would want to 'focus' on, or provide a 'call to action' or even a third column.

There are several features of the static text box:

  • the box will grow vertically as you add content
  • the box will automatically align to the right of the page (can also be set to align left)
  • text will 'flow' around the box
  • you can add multiple boxes to one page (boxes stack automatically)
  • both 'height' and 'width' can be modified in the stylesheet (yes width too!)
  • static box is embedded via (include / Library), just edit once, updates for all pages

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • open the (includes / Libary) folder
  • open the 'news_static' page
