Hi All !
We're new (happy!) users just needing some tips on using CCS with existing HTML
Our situation is that we are trying to insert grid based records into an existing HTML page but this page uses div tags instead of table/tr/td
When we try to directly substitute the field tags in the new page then the page outputs no data. As long as the page uses table tags then it's fine
Has anyone figured out how to use div architecture instead of table architecture?
We'd be grateful for any tips !
Kind regards
Prema

I'm not clear to me why you are having the problem but I doubt it's related
to CCS. I have used CCS to create several completely tableless sites and it
works just fine once the template has been suitably reworked. It sounds
like a style sheet issue. If your style sheet is external, possibly the
path to it is incorrect in the template.
That said, it would be nice if CCS itself gave the option to create
tableless designs in the project settings without having to rework the
entire template. Sadly, though, it uses tables almost to the extreme.

Hi Don!
Thanks very much for your response -- knowledge of your success makes it a good idea to press further with it.
Will try investigating the point made about the stylesheet.
Thanks for the tip !
Kind regards
Prema

I agree with you.... I really wish I can use DIVs instead of tables.

When I asked YesSoftware to add DIV and style support, they told me to use
Dreamweaver if I wanted that kind of feature!

I have been told that as well. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE CCS and Yes, they are superb. I just sense a definite hostility towards html.
My wish list includes a more robust html editor. It would just make things so much MORE easier.

Hello Guys,
CSS is the only way forward if you want lite manageable scripts. I am using CSS as part of a development factory and things must be CSS to make them low maintenance and most of all DDA COMPLIANT !
What I have done in the past is use FIND replace to swap th tags for labels and tables for div tags. I often wondered if it was possible to go into the ccs codebase and change the builder templates.
Think about how flexible the builder needs to be though, multiple columns multiple rows etc, it would probably be virtually impossible to have a cross browser compatible CSS based builder. I appreciate technically that this would take a lot to get it right.
