MarkAbrams Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 do not want to use absolute positioningYou can use floats if you want then, since you don't want to use absolutes.float-left and float-right (you can't float up or down)Here's a floating tutorial I found on google http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/introduction.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAbrams Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Eric,Thank you. I will check out the tutorial.What I am looking for is an editor that formats layout with the div tags - as Dreamweaver does not work properly with div tags and relative position.Its close but its no where near WUSIWYG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
