<Div> tag layout issues in Dreamweaver

Recommended Posts

I am trying to create a tableless page layout using only div tags with relative positioning. As per http://www.csscreator.comDreamweaver's WYSIWYG editor chokes on the layout. However the final page looks great in the browser. Is there a fix for the DW editor? Is there a better way to do this ? I do not want to use absolute positioning for this application. TIAMark

A WUSIWYG editor can never be close to relative positioning. Everything always varies afterall. I happen to have made a page that looks almost perfectly in Dreamwaver though. The reason is that it's a strict page. Therefore if it doesn't look good in dreamwaver it doesn't look good anywhere. The way I fixed it was described in http://www.quirksmode.com. Just add "overflow: hidden" and "height: 100%" to all floated DIVs.
