OK just started over again going through the process. All went in OK then I previewed and it all looked fine again - then went into design view and started to make changes and the page moved over to the left again and the links changed - could this be a bug in my copy of the software?Comment

Ignore what happens on the design tab, that has a quirky method of its own. Concentrate on how it looks online and through the offline preview.Comment

Can't check online coz it's not online yet but in the offline previews it is as I explained - page to the left and links and text not looking right.Comment

It needs to be live to offer any help Kaye, carry on working and when it goes live or has a test domain, let us take a look. It's pure guessing without something to see. Hosting the site is one of the very first things you should do IMO, this only proves that point.Comment

OK let me upload it in test so I can send you a URL to look at?Comment

Just tried to upload to my test site and this freezes up everytime it gets to the analysing web site window. I have now emailed tech support as I am sure there are other things going on here.
Lee thanks for the advice so far - I may be back!!!Comment

I have a dreamweaver outerlayer as discussed earlier. It is also 770px wide and centred, and with its own css file. I had no problem with this at all in actinic. In fact it was the first time I have been able to seamlessly integrate actinic into the rest of a website.
Either your coding is wrong, or something is not right in your actinic setup. Have you checked widths etc in site options? I have noticed that set widths in pixels can upset the wrapper div, if they combine to more than the 770px that you have set. But it is quite hard to upset the centreing bit of it.
I would recommend "firebug", which is great for seeing exactly what is going on. You do need to stick it on a server though, as it is the only way to really see what is happening.Comment

css can overwrite itself and will use the "newest" code to display whatever it is its been designed too... this is how myspace pages work..
my guess is the actinic.css is being called after your custom one and it is using that as the primary..
change your include file header link to first the actinic then your custom and try it..Comment

also if your css is being called into the "outer layer" doc then it wont be called into the individual files within A.. if for example it was a frame within a frame the outter frame will not effect the inner frame.. css wise..Comment

Doctype
I have worked out what the problem is....the DOCTYPE of the outerlayer in Dreamweaver needs to be set as:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
The page that was causing the problem was set as:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Once I changed this I had no further problems and I am getting on with the site well now!!Comment
