    Default How to extend Contribute to allways show CSS style dropdown?

    Hi,

    I'm experimenting with Contribute to use it for updating HTML fragments that
    are used as an include within dynamic pages. Basically I'm trying to edit
    content that normally would reside between the <body> and </body> tag. While
    this is a detail, I mention it because this is the reason why the content
    I'm trying to edit cannot refer to a CSS stylesheet itself (since any CSS
    style or <link> resides in the <head> of my dynamic page, not my included
    file)

    At first I tried the following: I converted a .asp page into a Dreamweaver
    template, added an aditable region called "content" and in the code I put
    may ASP file include line of code inside the editable region.
    When browsing the ASP page with Contribute, the included content (some HTML
    table with text) showed up fine, the "Edit"-button even worked but
    Contribute couldn't /didn't allow to edit the included content.

    So, I browsed directly to the included file, here I could edit it with
    contribute but since this was only a fragment of html no reference to the
    CSS stylesheet that was used in the ASP template could be made.

    So here are my questions:

    1). how can I extend Contribute to hve the CSS style dropdown shown, even if
    the document to be edited itself doesn't contain a CSS stylesheet?
    2). is it possible to extend Contribute to load a CSS stylesheet?
    3). have you allready done a similar thing, please contact me

    Any help will be very much appreciated!
