Dreamweaver & CSS

[leo]

width: 740px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

Or even better:

width: auto;
margin-left: 2em;
margin-right: 2em;

I am about to give up. The following CSS is pretty close to what I want.
There are some other problems but one major issue is: - in the ARTICLE
section, I want to have some space between the border and the text. Although
Dreamweaver's editor shows that there's a gap but IE and Opera both showing
no whitespace around the border.


..header {
width: 640px;
font-weight: bold;
height: 36px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
text-align: right;
}

..footer {
height: 36px;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono;
font-size: smaller;
color: #00FFFF;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}

..article {
width: 640px;
border: thin dotted #0000FF;
padding: 16;
text-align: left;
background-color: #FFFF00;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin: 16;
}

ROFL!

Crossposted this one to aww, hope you don't mind ;-)

Els, you are a Bad Girl. AWW is, however, where this belongs

How about a chardonnay, I've just opened another one...

Perhaps a Two Dogs?

My wife drinks Two Dogs. It's a sort of vodka wine lemonade thingy.

You are actually required to ask me what the name of the drink means.

So how am I Bad then? ;-)

Nah..

Perhaps a Two Dogs?

What's that?

My wife drinks Two Dogs. It's a sort of vodka wine lemonade
thingy.

If you take the wine out, that'll do, yes, thank you

You are actually required to ask me what the name of the
drink means.

Hey Richard, btw, what does Two Dogs stand for?

Do *not* believe what dreamweaver displays. The only valid displayers are
the actual browsers.

At this point a URL is mandatory, not just a bit of CSS.

You just drank too much tea, Toby <g>

Perl scripts don't drink tea.

Er, its related to an old joke about an indigenous American boy who is
wondering how his siblings, Little Dove and Running Deer, came about their
names. He asked Great Bear, his daddy, why. Great Bear answered...

"It is because our people name children after what they see when they were
born. For example, when your sister was born, we looked out and saw a
small white dove flying past, so we called her Little Dove. Why do you
ask, Two Dogs Fucking?"

Right, forgot about that.
Tell you're scripter he should have taken in much less tea when
he scripted you <g>

Makes me wonder... what exactly is in that drink?

<grabs empty bottle>
Hmmm. I was wrong originally. [who knows what a wife will drink?].

"Two Dogs lemon brew. Naturally refreshing beer and lemon drink"

Basically malt beer and lemon juice. Then again it *is* produced over in
South Australia

Basically malt beer and lemon juice. Then again it *is* produced over in
South Australia that's why it tastes like GP's

Two Dogs was pretty much the original alcopop. Vodka and lemonaide (sp?)
mainly.

I figured that, but where's the connection between the name and
that story then?

True.

Hmmm <checks headers> Oh, the berlin thing.

Okay. I fixed it. px was missing from all the 16's.
