CSS and Dynamic Templates

[Dick]

Can I use CSS and Dynamic Templates in the same web site, on the same pages?

Yes you can. But I will say that CSS, in this case, will be redundant.

CSS is for uniforming the text formatting on different pages, while DWT
(Dynamic Web Template) is for uniforming the web page layout on different
pages. If you can control the layout, you can control the formatting of the
text as well. So why bother to create another CSS?

Are you suggesting that DWT users should revert to using HTML3, where
formatting is by <font> tags?

CSS formatting (either embedded, inline, or external) is, IMO, the way
to go with web pages, no matter how they are constructed. Whether you
use CSS positioning for layout or tables is your choice.

Let me put it this way. I have a web site that uses Dynamic Templates, no
problem. I want to keep the same text formating in the editable region of
each page, Can I do this with CSS or with the template, or either? If with
the template how do I do that?

Thanks, Dick

Use CSS style sheet (can be applied in editable regions)
- but you can't prevent html formatting from overriding the css if applied in your pages

Since the editable region content is not transferred to your pages that use the DWT, any html formatting is also not transferred
(unless it is "wrapped" around the editable region in your template)

Thank you for your help. I am going to have to learn more about CSS, but I
get the idea. Now, how do I "wrap the text" around the editable regionof my
template? Steve, do you know of any on line sources I could use to get a
better understanding of CSS use, I find the help in FP a little hard to
follow.
