Hi there,

Trying to make slight changes to different pages in website. In the "includes folder" I have made a new folder "CSSLayouts2". I then changed all linking in the new page to go to CSSLayouts2. I thought this would then allow me to change the css files in the new folder like making amendments to different elements. When I open the newly made page and go to edit layout it asks me to select a layout?
I take it each page in the website does not have to be identical???

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

In order to have a different layout for every page you need to create a new layout for each page of your website and each page will have its own css properties.
If you already have a layout and you want to create additional pages from an existing layout you should NOT "Save AS" the old page as a new page. If you do this, the new page will use the same CSS as the old page and changes done in one of the pages will also apply on the other page.

Please follow this link for further details and step by step tutorial for creating multiple pages: http://www.extendstudio.com/tableless-css-layouts-for-dreamweaver/create-multiple-Flexi-CSS-pages.html

Hello,

Could you send me a copy of the template that gives you errors to support[at]extendstudio.com? You can find it inside Dreamweavers configuration folder in "Shared/Extend/CSS Layouts/Layouts/User" and there is a folder named "MyPageLayouts". There you find all your layouts. Check this link to find the path to your configuration folder:

Hi Elena

It was me making yet another mistake, got it fixed now.

I am trying to colour links on my page and in my user.css i am putting this in

a:link {color:#FFF; text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color:#C90;text-decoration:none; }

However the link colour is coming up green

When I place it in the main page

<style type="text/css">
a:link {color:#FFF; text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color:#C90;text-decoration:none; }
</style>

It comes up purple.
As a little feedback to the team, I love the programme.

Thanks
