I'm frustrated!
I need to convert a DreamWeaver Template, found at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jewishtreasure.com/Templates/JT10.dwt">http://www.jewishtreasure.com/Templates/JT10.dwt</a><!-- m -->, fulla tables, to CSS and I'm having no luck. Could somebody give me a hand?
Thanks!
Rosslink doesn't work for me, even after I edited your comma to be outside the url tag.Argh! It's supposed to be measure twice, cut once! I posted without checking! Argh!
Here's the right URL, all checked to make sure it loads:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jewishtreasures.com/Templates/JT10.dwt">http://www.jewishtreasures.com/Templates/JT10.dwt</a><!-- m -->
Rosslooks like a fixed width center column.
so to get you started you need a single container div with all your content. Apply margin: 0 auto; to the div itself, and use text-align: center on the body element in order to get it to work in IE.
After that I can't see to easily what it's meant to look like, so maybe a screenshot?I'm brand new to CSS. The objective is to remove all tables, especially from the template. The web site I need to convert -- template crazy -- is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jewishtreasures.com">http://www.jewishtreasures.com</a><!-- m --> .
What is the CSS for creating a 2x2 "table" with the 1,1 cell empty but used as place holder; the 1,2 cell will be a header, the 2,1 is a navbar, and 2,2 is content.
Isn't there a tables-->CSS conversion utility for helping out yutzes lile me?
RossNope, there's no magic bullet.
Forget grid layout. You're describing three divs; heading, navigation and content. That's pretty trivial. Go to the Layout-o-matic (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php">http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php</a><!-- m -->), get some raw material to play with and start fiddling.Fiddling Away! Thanks!
RossAnother hint. Don't use IE as your primary preview. Use Firefox for development then tweak if necessary for IE.Why Firefox and no IE?Originally posted by greenber
Why Firefox and no IE?
Internet Explorer doesn't correctly interperet CSS, so there are many things you can accidently do in IE that won't render correctly in CSS-privy browsers such as Mozilla and Opera. However, if you get the page it work correctly in Firefox more than likely it will look correct in IE as well, with maybe the need of a couple tweaks.
