New at responsive design, need assistance.

[Vira_V]

I've come from the Dreamweaver world, and this is only my second Muse website. I have to admit, responsive design has become by biggest challenge.

The problem I'm having is my master page looks entirely different when applied to a child page. A new, blank child page. The breakpoints don't look the same. Am I missing something? I feel like this is a major malfunction that I can not solve.

You can see the problem here: Adobe Muse: Responsive design problem - Album on Imgur https://imgur.com/a/za8opjD

First image is the Master page at 1025px breakpoint. Then the child at same breakpoint.

Third image is the Master page at 880px breakpoint. Then the child at same breakpoint.

Why are they different?

Thanks for your help!

Nobody can tell, without having a look at your .muse file. Your screenshots are way to unspecific and don’t show the settings of all the elements. Upload it to Dropbox or a similar service and we can have a look.

Sorry, thanks for your patience.

Here is the file: http://visualrealtime.net/SiteDebug.zip

Just have a look at this (modified) sample file:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ggc2sv77x68vpj/SiteDebug_Mod.muse?dl=1

This should work as expected. I did nothing special. Only repositioned the elements breakpoint-wise. and placed the master breakpoints at the same position on your the layout page

Additionally I coloured the page background to better see the behaviour of the element in front.

Please have a look at the file and get back, when there are further questions.

Go back to Dreamwwaver.  Muse is discontinued software that has no future beyond  March 2020.   Muse generated code is not being updated.  So the sites you build with Muse today may or may not work as intended in a few months.  The only thing that is certain is that the web keeps changing and Muse is not keeping up with those changes.   Learning to build responsive layouts in Dreamweaver is not difficult and a lot more rewarding  than you might think because you control the code.

Thank you for telling again and again and again!

Really: Why don’t you create a forum document about this and link to it? This would save us to read your ever same posts in every second thread and you have more time to answer the real questions of the forum members’ issues (if you are able to).

Gunter, thanks as usual for all your kind words .

• So, create a document and link to it.
• So simply try once to solve a Muse issue.
