Pressing Enter screws up my template - line breaksimages

[layziebone123]

OK I am using a template. I have defined an editable region. When I press enter
inside the region the navigation panel on left breaks apart. How can I get it
to just do a line break without messing with the the other images?

First of all, template regions are NOT layout regions. You issue has
nothing to do with templates. It is strictly related to the way you have
built your tables.

Your best bet for controlling spacing issues like that would be to have each
cell's contents in a separate 'nested table. That way, changes in the shape
of one cell wouldn't affect the shape of an adjacent cell.

To get lines of text that are directly adjacent, just use CSS to control
your paragraph margins -

p { margin:0; }

Thanks for the reply, I understand what to do now. But, it looks like my current page is one big layout table - When I click to draw a new nested table it will not let me.

How do I fix that?

By a) never building a page inside of one monster table (this means you must
never use a graphics editor to write your HTML), b) never using DW's Layout
mode, and c) spending some time learning HTML and tables so that you can
achieve (a) and (b).

If you would leave Layout mode (and never return), you will be able to do
whatever you want with your tables.

Can you please just tell me how to fix it? this is the last thing I need to
figure out and i am golden. I used photoshop to design it, made my slices and
whatnot, saved for web, and open it in dreamweaver. I never used layout mode...
I only entered it becasue i was trying to read their help files how to add
nested tables like you said.

[layziebone123]

Ive been thinking about it and this is my idea, not sure if its the easiest
though:
export all images from photoshop but not the html
make a blank html page in DW
piece together and record all the dimensions of where the images go
aka: reconstruct all the slices as tables in DW

[Murray *ACE*]

Excellent approach. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with HTML, and
don't understand HTML tables, you will likely end up in the same place.

Before attempting this, please read this -
