CSS Issue in Contribute

[James D]

Hi there,

I have a template page which is based purely in CSS and I need that template
to be used by my client in Contribute, the only problem is that when page is
previewed in Contribute the layers are all on top of each other in one line
making it impossible for client to update. In Dreamweaver the preview is
fine.

I dont have access to the code at the moment as i am away from the office,
but has anyone experienced a similar thing before or is there a common
explanation like contribute cannot handle pure css?

Thanks

Yeah, I've seen Contribute present CSS layers in an odd way as well - not as
bad as yours sounds though. I'm also not sure how to help... anyone else?

I've figured it.

Just so anyone else who is experiencing this knows - i changed all the
margin-left properties to just 'left' and made the position relative. For
some reason Contribute didn't recognise the margin-left property at all.
Strange. It now displays exactly the same in dreamweaver, contribute, ie,
firefox...etc.

Thanks for your post Lime.
