Freeway Reference: Working with Items

You will read later in this manual that some HTML items offer new HTML5 functionality that was not supported in Freeway prior

to Freeway 6. These new features include Section Elements (see below) and additional functionality for forms, such as validation,

placeholder text, etc., which is covered in detail in the Working with Forms section of this manual.

Graphic items

Graphic items are shown with a gray outline; they can be either table positioned or CSS positioned. CSS graphic items have green

triangular corner mounts to help differentiate them from table-positioned items. Graphic items can contain text or images in GIF, JPEG,

PNG, TIFF, Photoshop, PICT, BMP, EPS, PDF, or Illustrator format.

Freeway can also import any other graphic format supported

by QuickTime. The contents of graphic items are processed for

output to the web as 72ppi graphics in GIF, JPEG, or PNG format.

Map area items

Map area items are shown with a purple outline. These items indicate the area of a hyperlink “hotspot” over an item. Unlike HTML

items and graphic items, map areas do not hold any content of their own. (For more information on map area items, see Image maps on

page 118.)

HTML5 Section Elements

FW Pro only

Freeway supports the following HTML5 section elements: Address, Article, Aside, Footer, Header,

Nav, Section (as well as the generic div element, referred to as HTML).

Users can choose an element type from the Type popup of the Item Export panel (when the page

level is set to HTML5 or XHTML5). If a page is changed from (X)HTML5 to a lower level, HTML5

section items are changed to generic HTML items.

HTML5 section elects are not required, but can provide useful hints about your page to screen

readers, search engines, and syndicators. The following advice on using HTML5 section elements is

taken from the official HTML5 documentation (some minor edits have been made):

Div Element

Generic CSS HTML boxes – layers and inflow items – are output as div elements in Freeway. Items

will be output as divs if HTML is selected as the Type in the Item Output Settings of the Inspector

palette.

Divs have no special meaning at all. They should only be used when no other element is suitable.

Use of more appropriate elements instead of the div element leads to better accessibility for readers

and easier maintainability for authors.

For example, a blog post would be marked up using article, a chapter using section, a page’s navigation using nav, and a group of form

controls using fieldset.

Section Element

The section element represents a generic section of a document or application. A section, in this context, is a thematic grouping of

content, typically with a heading.

Examples of sections would be chapters, the various tabbed pages in a tabbed dialog box, or the numbered sections of a thesis. A Web

site’s home page could be split into sections for an introduction, news items, and contact information.

The section element is not a generic container element. When an element is needed only for styling purposes or as a convenience for

scripting, authors are encouraged to use the div element instead. A general rule is that the section element is appropriate only if the

element’s contents would be listed explicitly in the document’s outline.

Nav Element

The nav element represents a section of a page that links to other pages or to parts within the page: a section with navigation links.

Not all groups of links on a page need to be in a nav element – the element is primarily intended for sections that consist of major

navigation blocks. In particular, it is common for footers to have a short list of links to various pages of a site, such as the terms of

service, the home page, and a copyright page. The footer element alone is sufficient for such cases; while a nav element can be used in

such cases, it is usually unnecessary.

Article Element

The article element represents a self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site and that is, in principle,

independently distributable or reusable, e.g. in syndication. This could be a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, a blog entry, a

user-submitted comment, an interactive widget or gadget, or any other independent item of content.

Aside Element

The aside element represents a section of a page that consists of content that is tangentially related to the content around the aside

element, and which could be considered separate from that content. Such sections are often represented as sidebars in printed

typography.

Note: Freeway Express supports a smaller range of graphic types: GIF,

JPEG, PNG, and PICT. Graphic items drawn in Freeway Express have the

same functionality as non-CSS layer items drawn in Freeway Pro.
