Layers...

OK,

So I created a few layers, but defined their background colors in CSS. So now
it looks like an interface in which I can add content.
We'll, why is it that when I created a paragraph style sheet and I began
typing in one of the layers + applied the paragraph style, how come it isn't
interacting with the background color layer? I mean, the sentences don't sense
the edge of the layer box & they won't 'return'...it winds up pushing my layer
container (block of color) out, length wise. It won't justify & automatically
drop down a line.
To approach something like this, would it be best to create an advanced style
& give it the attributes of the background as well as the text?
I just don't know!

It would be impossible to channel you enough to conjure up the code for
this. Can you post a link to the page?

Sorry, there's no link.

I was just experimenting, in general....playing around w/ the software.
I guess I'd simply like to know in CSS how, utilizing a layer as a block of
color, you can make the text within acknowledge the edges of that layer without
stretching the layer dimensions?
Would it be best to convert to a table? (though I'm trying to avoid that all
together)

Thanks!

Have you given your 'layer' a width?

Are you using the standard DW layer? or a div?

It may be wise to do some of the CSS tutorials at the MM site before you
commit yourself to using 'layers'
