Dreamweaver template problem

How do you manage different amounts of content

[Bowdii]

On my template, I have the nav bar on the left and the header on the top, with an editable region in the middle for content. This has worked perfect, until now. I have a new page with extra content, and the bottom part of it is missing. How can I set the editable region to expand to the amount of content?

Thanks for any help/comments!

I don't quite understand this....

....are you using frames? Could you explain your problem with a little more detail then I may be able to help you.

okay...sorry, let me see what else can I tell ya.

The page I am having trouble with... I have added alot of content to it ( In the editable region of the template.)

Now, when this pages is displayed on the web, the last 2 paragraphs are not coming up. It looks like it is being cut off, as if the editable region is not expaning enough...Im not sure, im new to this....and can't figure it out.

Did I clear this up? What else do you need to know?

Sounds like the editable region may be a div with some restrictions on overflow, or another div overlaying it.

How exactly is this region created, in HTML and CSS? Not the whole page's code, but simplified to the pertinent areas -- and any references that identify the specific site removed, thanks :)

I decided to move this thread over to the WYSIWYG Editors forum where all the Dreamweaver folks hang out. Since this is your editor, a pure HTML answer may not actually help you all that much.

I have to concur with Tedster, there has to be something restraining the height of the editable area, hence have a look at the template for the page, and look at how you've set the editable region, definetly at code level, visually there would'nt be any difference until you hit a problem like this.

okay, here is my template code

<code>

<div id="logo" style="position:absolute; left:320px; top:7px; width:331px; height:10px; z-index:3; visibility: visible;"><img src="../Images/title_2.1.jpg" width="406" height="134"></div>

<div id="nav-border" style="position:absolute; left:101px; top:77px; width:20px; height:93px; z-index:5; visibility: visible;"><img src="../Images/horrizontal_border_left_2.3.jpg" width="150" height="550"></div>

<div id="Content" style="position:relative; left:302px; top:167px; width:440px; height:871px; z-index:8; visibility: visible; overflow: visible;">

<!-- TemplateBeginIf cond="OptionalRegion1" -->
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="EditRegion3" -->
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<!-- TemplateEndIf --> </div>

</code>

Thank you for any help!

Don't think it's the template at all. Looks like your div "content" has a height:871px set. That will restrict it to that size rather than allowing it to expand to fit what you put there... Hope this helps.

Okay, I have been playing with the height to see if it would expand. But it is not:(

I need to set the height so that it is relative to the content....

[Bowdii]

when I changed the div="content" to a larger number, it changes! But I only want it to change for 1 page, because there is only 1 page with alot more content then the others....

How do I do that?

Again, thanks for your comments/help!

You can't

Create an additional template or detach it, is your only answer.
