[thelist] NN4.7 CSS woes

[Gregory Wostrel]

sasha,

Thanks again. I plugged in a width and a background and it is fine. As
for the coding, nitpicking is OK with me. The details are important.
This sort of thing is what I get for using WYSIWIG. GoLive 6 will
rather neatly convert the page to XHTML. However, it puts in the wrong
doctype and any changes to the page are not done as XHTML but HTML4. So
after any changes I have to do the conversion again to catch all the
<br> and <img> tags that are not closed and so on. It is a bit of an
improvement over GL5 but not as much as I would hope.

Thanks again for the help. I still can't get that page with the
overlapping graphic to work. Really a pain in the **s.

call it a day, I think.
