CSS problems *link*

| Ok, sorry. Here's everything together.
I am using MX 2004 and trying to format text using CSS. All the formatting
works fine and shows up properly in other browsers, (even NN!), but in IE
the colors are gone. All the text shows up as black... (heads should be
orange or blue)
Can somebody look at this and give me a clue what's going on?
The other problem is that I'm using CSS to place a background image, but in
NN it is gone. Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Tim

You have a bit odd styling.
Take away the styles you have for the text. Re-define the <p> tag, i.e.
give it a font, size, color, etc. That'll take care of most.
Then do the same with e.g. the <h1> tag and use that for the headlines.
Then a class for the span tags. i.e. "subhead".
Then you might need to enter code view to wrap the tags around the text:
<h2>Our Core Values:</h2>
<p><span class="subhead">Integrity:</span> We are always honest and
forthright with our customers. </p>

| Are you saying to NOT use CSS? I'm not much of a coder yet, just a DW user.
I created the CSS in DW just like I used to in 4.0, except I applied the
styles using the Styles menu in the control pallete. I could figure out how
to do it through the CSS Styles menu. Probably that's the problem. Any
pointers about how to apply CSS on text properly?

No, no. It's CSS alright.
Do this: Open the CSS dialog window to create a new style. Select
"re-define tag" and in the jump menu, you select the "p". Then, the
window with all options will open and you just pick your choices.
Then do the same with the "h2" tag.
Then create a custom style, a "class" for the "subheader" and call it
e.g. ".subheader".
When that's done, you can e.g. select the text (in design view) and
select which tag you want applied by using the leftmost jumpmenu in the
property inspector. But it might be tricky, so you may have to go into
code view and place tags as I suggested before.
Make a backup of the file and play around!!!!

>You have a bit odd styling.
And billions of empty table cells ... *shudder*
And no alt-attributes ...

Why a span-element at all? "subhead" is a heading, so one should use a
heading element, h3 in this case. Or maybe a strong-element. But finally
it looks more or less like a list, so I would probably use a definition
list there.

<dl>
<dt>Integrity:</dt>
<dd>We...</dd>
<dt>Creativity:</dt>
<dd>Our...</dd>
....
</dl>
Just my 2 cents

| What about the problem with the CSS background image disappearing in NN? Any
thoughts there?
TIA,

I dunno, but I suspect that your numerous cells in the table might cause
this. Really, you should not build a page like you have done. When using
DW Layout mode you'll usually end up in a mess, since it makes you
believe there are ways to cut corners. Eventually, people realize that
there aren't, and there are no way but the "hard" one, i.e. to learn
html and DW basics.
If you have a hour to spend, maybe this will help you:
