XHTML, CSS, Dreamweaver templates, and Contribute
Posted by Jesse Rodgers on November 22, 2005 at 10:00 PM
Just around a year after putting together the Dreamweaver template for the CLF I have written an article for Macromedia’s DevNet that is entitled Modifying Page Layouts with Template Conditional Statements and Multiple CSS Files. If you want to make your own templates or just curious what makes them work in DW, this simple little article should help you out.
There are a number of ‘better’ things about the template in that article. The biggest is that the XHTML/CSS allows for total fluid design, has a little less code to achieve the layout, and offers an option to put #secondnavarea directly under the #primarynavarea. Sure the one with the article is simple (no graphics, no search, etc) but it would take very little time to make it look like a UW CLF web page. Funny how much you learn in a year ;)
