Layout help

How do i go about uncompressing my code?

All I have done is used the standard 'Executive' template and changed a few visual bits, but I have not intentionally compressed my code

With regards to my logo, all I did was goto 'Design' then 'Themes' then just browsed to my logo file under 'Corporate Logo'.

I really cannot get my head around Actinic designer and am much more confident with WYSIWYG (Dreamweaver 9) and making small HTML or CSS changes via code.
Can this be done using v.8? It states at the bottom of the designer page 'Edit Layout In Dreamweaver' but I dont get any of my products, text or images files showing up in DW when I click on that.
Do I need to buy a previous version to be able to do this?

Oh and I removed the 'V' from valign and it still has not fixed my problem

Please also bare in mind that I have only been involved with CSS for less then a week and HTML for about a month so am completely clueless.
I am however very keen to learn but need to start at the beginning.

No you dont - what you see in DW is the layout in Actinic speak. If you open your outer layout in DW then you will see the logo variable in yellow at the top, if you align this and transfer the changes to Actinic then that may solve the problem.

Hi Malcom, i'm sorry but you lost me at outer layout lol

Anyway, I have just realised that the problem may not be to do with the resolution as such.
The header seems stuck solid and the rest of the website moves when I make the explorer window bigger or smaller putting the header out of alignment.

Does this make sense?

Once again you help is very much appreciated

Any ideas on this anyone?

I have tried myself but cannot seem to get it to stay fixed like the main body

This is with the window shrunk to the perfect size



This is after clicking on the maximise button



Notice the header does not stay aligned

Thanks

Firefox is showing a frame on the homepage! Is that correct?

The header issue is coming from :

.page_header {
background-color: #000000;
width: 760px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 120px;
}

you are setting the left margin explicitly and not allowing it to float to the widow size. This will resolve :

.page_header {
background-color: #000;
width: 760px;
margin: 0 auto;
border: none;
}

you will need to do the same for the nav bar beneath the logo.

Note : the 0 auto does not always take hold with IE6 ... a hack is to set:

body {
text-align: center;
}

and then set everything else back to text left eg:

p, td, tr, table, font, a, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 [etc] {
text-align: left;
}

.. along with the "0 auto" above to ensure all browser happiness.
