    Default Editing from a WYSIWYG Website

    I designed a website using Web Page Maker (a WYSIWYG web builder). Each piece
    of text and graphics is contained within it's own "box" which represents the
    <div> "container" that the program outputs. Although I can select this div and
    copy and paste new ones to hold new pictures and text, I don't see anywhere on
    this program where I can actually create a new one from the toolbars. Can
    Contribute create new divs in order for my client to update the website like I
    have it or do I need to totally rebuild this website using dreamweaver? I'd
    prefer to leave it like it is if at all possible. Please help!

    Contribute as a product is mainly targeted for audience who want to do
    Web-Editing rather than Web-Designing.. however contribute comes in with
    most of the popular ways of editing the page.. however, it also goes on
    with how you would want your website to look at... Do you really need a
    <div> for it or would it suffice with a <table border=0>! A <div> cannot
    be created newly however you can edit an existing one or you can
    choose to follow this work around...

    Edit your page, File->Actions->Edit Page source in External Editor...
    Set your Web Page primary editor to say NOTEPAD in
    File->Preferences->Web Page (htm)... Add a div in notepad... open it
    back with contribute and add your content in the div..

    Hope this helps..
