Hey Guys and Gals,

First, just want to say DNN rocks. I reviewed the document that was mentioned in the first part of this group and it was awesome at getting me off ground. I have trouble with CSS sheets, but i'll get there later.

Ok I made template skin for my site, with combination of photoshop, slicing, dicing, and praying. I then used dreamweaver to easily assemble the tables/and images.  The site is suppose to look like this

Screen shot from photoshop

here is how it looks in dreamweaver

here is how it looks when it loads in IE, now this just HTML I haven't built the entire module yet.

I have looked at code. I have also noticed some group postings, but don't know if its somethign in the code, something dreamer is doing, or i need to slice it up more. Something about merged cells.

If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it, because from the best of my ability everything looks ok.

 

Here is the code to the page, I warn you its long, but I try to be complete when posting a question.

Dear dascoat4msu

I don't know directly what you have done wrong.
But test your html for mistakes...
For instance when you set width="" or something like that use always the dimension for instance width="800px"
I don't use that either, I always make a style and set a class. I don't like the spaghetti code ...
Try this url

Ok, i fixed it.  The problem was dreamweaver was throwing a <tr  something tag, which is invalid.

NOTE:::

When you are desingning your skins from what I gather, slice the tables and graphics such that there are not any merged cells

meaning

     

 

Don't have anything weird you should be able to clearly see your vertical and horizontal roles in line

if you don't you have sliced the table wrong

Then insert a table into the center payne, DO NOT MERGE COlumns it causes problems from what I father.

Just thought I would post my journey as I conquer DNN

YAY
