I have a skin that I am developing, it is a fluid 2 column layout with a header at the top, a footer at the bottom etc.

The left column will be 25% wide and the right will be 75% wide.

The left column will have greay background, white text

The right column will have a white background, grey text.

The container is simple, and has some minor graphics in the header, and minimalist line on the right, and most importantly, a white background.

The left column will always be used to show content, but no container when in "View" mode.

I have all of this working, with one problem so far (if you don't count IE as a problem ).  When I am in "View" mode it looks great, but when I switch to "Edit" mode the container (which has a white background) is shown....so I can't see the white text!

Is there a way for me to control what CSS style is applied in the "View" vs. "Edit" mode?  Or am I better off just making another "dummy" container that has a grey background so I can still see my white text?

I suspect (but haven't tested yet) that this will lead to issues with the FCKEditor too. 

Any tips, suggestions would be very,very welcome!!!

We normally create a container with that overides the css for the white area. so that you could finish the content and once done then you need to apply the correct container in view mode.

Thanks Salar, I was hoping to avoid that but it sounds like I can't. Thanks for the guidance.
