We removed the logo references and > replaced them with our own. No we cloned the CSS based theme and actually updated the binary file used for the logo - the file name even is the same (I think).

Well I opened the SS editor in HTML mode, copy/paste html with tables and it works, SilverStripes RT editor lets me alter the table. If I create the table from scratch in SS I get the same HTML table code... > If we didn't strip out the HTML table code, then we > would see layout issues. ...I'm confused then - do you mean we should loose tables for CSS divs - Yes I AGREE. (Caveat) using the SS setup last night it seems like the big issue is the CSS heme, fix (understand) that and we are in smooth waters. Then again I could be full of crap on that also - but it seems this way. email for the change on the access rigts on the SS instance at TDF is gone, so hopefully I can join you there today Thanks Jeff for all your doing on this - //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/us/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
