Corrupt Layout in Edit Page mode for some

[jefbak]

Hi I have a 3 col fixed css page that breaks down when I try to edit it in
Contribute CS3 on Mac OS X Lepoard 10.5.5

Now I have tested sending a key to some others in our web testing group and
strangely, the layout does not breakdown for everyone. Why?

I tested your page on Contribute CS3 on Vista and the page is perfectly
editable and does not brake down at all...

So maybe the difference is found in MAC/Windows users? Maybe the Mac version
has a different CSS interpretation or a bug? Maybe you can play around with
your CSS to find what is causing this problem. It's a bit like the errors you
get when you check a site with different browsers. When you have dreamweaver
you can do a browser check to locate errors/problems in html and css in certain
browsers.

Thanks ThinkInk. I am looking forward to trying the new inline editing product
in Labs soon the way things are going for me with contribute and css. Some macs
render the page in edit mode just fine, other don't. Since we are talking edit
page mode I assume all mac users would be using the same render engine. We all
have the same role and rights. But my edit page has no layout applied at all. I
figure the connection might be to my dreamweaver site, so I deleted it, but
that didn't help. I also tried removing my temp and site files in my contriubte
application support directory and re-creating the site. No luck there either.
I was messing around with trying to point roles to a particular css file for
awhile, but gave up because (as you know from my other thread) the css files
reside outside of the contriubte website setup.
Anyway I will consider a fluke for now as it is only happening on 2 macs at
the moment.
