Hello all! I think I've found the correct thread for this issue I've been having...
I've pieced together a three column liquid layout for a client with two static columns. (please forgive the one table that's there - it's just for the time being). My problem is that this site is going to be edited by the client in Contribute. The site looks fine in Mozilla and in IE, but for some reason when I open it in Contribute, it doesn't work at all! Here's the test page for the site in question: http://cprevscires.isg.syssrc.com/ In my research it seems that one option to combat this is to 'create a separate stylesheet for contribute that only comes into play when the author is editing a page the rules in this stylesheet will overwrite all other stylesheets. Discussion found here: http://cssbeauty.com/skillshare/discussion/479/css-contribute/ I've really got no idea actually how to do this, especially if I am using something NOT Dreamweaver (right now I'm using Crimson Editor)... has anyone tried this? Is there another option for my client - other than contribute? Has anyone found a good workaround? Thanks so much! -------------------------------------------------------------- Melissa Carraway 410.771.5544 x4434 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.syssrc.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ~davidLaakso Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 11:25 PM To: David Hucklesby; Andrew Gaffney Cc: Brian Crescimanno; css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Subject: Re: [css-d] 3 column layout without absolute positioning David Hucklesby wrote: >> On 5/17/07, Andrew Gaffney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>> I am working on a redesign of an existing site, and I wanted to go with CSS for >>> layout instead of the current table layout.
