Does anyone here use DWMX and design exclusively with CSS? I have read so much, but feel like:
1. I am clueless
2. Have not read enough
3. I am a terrible learner
4. CSS is not that easy with DW
Whichever is the case, probably a bit of all the above, I am EXTREMELY frustrated!
Anyone in here have similar experiences and worked them out? I would love to here from you on a course of action to take. I feel like I am running around in circle and accomplishing nothing.
Thanks,
Eric
Any tutorials that would be appropriate for those use DWMX would be appreciated - Please Sticky me if the URLs can't be posted.
P.S. It seems that most of the examples are for STRAIGHT HAND CODING. AND I can't seem to incorporate them into DW.
Its a doddle - the css code isn't quite as sweet as you would like, but the html code is tight as a drum.
You need to download a free DW extension called Layer2Style (should be able to find via Google easy enough)
Do a rough site design using DW layers - name them properly (ie not just 'layer1', 'layer2' etc). Run Layer2Style and it takes all the in-line positioning code and dumps into a css in the <head>.
Cut and paste this into an external style sheet and then carry on editing using the normal DW properties panel - it updates the external style sheet automatically.
Your html should then be nice and clean, and you can tidy up the external css file if you can be bothered later (I can't be bothered usually).
Hope this helps.
