Need Help With CSS Fonts, and AP Divs. (Seperate problems)
SEspider Jun 21, 2010 3:34 PMHello All,
I've got two BIG problems that I just can't figure out at all. No matter what I do, nothing works for eith er of these two very different problems.
I'm running Windows7 and using Dreamweaver MX and CS4 (can't afford to upgrade).
Problem One
Font Colors, Size, and Styles. I ALWAYS end up having to resort to MX to fix these issues. I need different color fonts for different paragraphs, I also need different styles and sizes. But changing one always changes the others. I've gone to the CSS panel and tried to change it there, but no luck. I've tried "Compound (Based On your Selection)" option, but no luck there either. The problem is that CS4 Forces CSS onto the user reguardless if they need it or not. The only thing I need CSS for is Accordians, Flash, Drop menus, etc. But when it comes to simple, flat out, HTML I no longer have control as I do in MX. I ALWAYS start a new project as a HTML file but CSS still automatically applies to the entire site.
What Am I missing?!
I need to remove MX, but Can't until I figure this CSS problem out.
=========================
Problem Two
This is nothing new to most here, I'm sure. The demand for Flash Pop Ups that convert to a banner (Yahoo Style) has risen and the demand has flooded my ears from clients. The biggest is UGAI. Who's site was created in MX largely due to the problem above. Advertisers are asking for Full Page flash ads that either are small and pop up when one hovers over their normal HTML ad or that fills an area and plays short Flash and then resorts to their Flash Banner to reveal the full site again. And they are willing to pay BIG for this seemingly simple feature.
How do I make this work? Dreamweaver allows layers/overlays that I can apply transparent Flash in. Also known as an "AP Div." But those layers keep jumping all over the place. It gets worse when viewed in different resolutions. I can get Overlays to work perfect on MySpace's 1.0 profiles, but not in Dreamweaver or by hand via Notepad. And it doesn't matter if I'm in MX or CS4.
PS: I jumped from MX to CS4 shortly after CS4 came out. CSS has proven to be a pain and now I've gotta learn CMS (Joomla) as well. All on my own.
>_<
Here's a CS4 created site still early in development.
Thanks for any and all help,
Richard
