Absolute Object Position button

[Brian Goldman]

What exactly is this button for? I don't see any added functionality by using it. I looked in the help files and couldn't find anything.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,

The "Absolute Positioning" button enables the user to move an object (image, table or media) freely into the editor. Firstly select the image, press the "Absolute Positioning" button and drag the image to the desired location in the content area.

Thank you Rumen, but is that any different than just clicking the image and moving it around? It seems to do the same thing or am I missing something special that it does.

Hi Brian,

By default, the browser does not offer absolute positioning - this is our implementation. When the user selects an image and click on the absolute position button, the editor applies style="position:absolute;" to the selected element and it can be smoothly moved in the content area.

You can see in the attached video what the difference between the standard and absolute position moves in the content area is.
