Is there a way to turn off the CSS? Or does it automatically
just start creating style sheets??? At my job I we design e-newsletters in dreamweaver and then we have to import the code into a CMS server tool and every time we dot hat all the code gets messed up and its really starting to become a PAIN. I’m thinking because of the CSS its getting messed up but i could be wrong, Any thoughts?
how are you importing the code exactly?
just copying and pasting, is there a better way to do it?
Depends on the CMS,
I am not too familiar with this process,
How is it “getting messed up” ?
Well, my guess is, if its trying to read the CSS in the CMS, this could be the problem. I know that dreamweaver creates styles like so:
.style1 {
...
}
.style2 {
...
}
And if your making everything with Dreamweaver, then you might be having conflicting styles all over the place. But like faster said, I’m not exactly sure what you mean by messed up. But that’s just a quick thought I had.
some of the colors are changing, the font sizes are different, some of the links wont work. With the font it says its a 10 but I know it looks more like 12 or 14
but when I highlight it and then go to the size menu and click 10 it shrinks down to a 10.
I’m just wondering if there is a way to turn off the style sheets when I create a new html document in dreamweaver?
Just don’t copy and paste any generic dreamweaver styling (anchors, fonts, colours etc), sounds like the CMS CSS is conflicting with your E-Newsletter CSS.
[COLOR=Red] *EDIT[/COLOR]: the CMS would be overriding any of your copy and pasted CSS, so unless you disable your CMS CSS (which is not the way to go) then you can just put !important next to anything that is being over ridden by the CMS
For example, if you have anchor tags that aren’t showing the proper colours, then do this:
a { color: #------ !important; }
this forces the browser to apply the colour, overriding any previous declarations (ie, the CMS’ CSS)
