is the product layout possible in actinic?

[Anterweb]

My current layout for the page I am trying to edit looks like this:: http://www.digi-com.co.uk/acatalog/O...e_Audio_2.html

I have searched no end and played around in the code, Css and dreamweaver trying to cheive this but so far keep drawing blanks.

I have photoshoped the page to show the desired finish I am tring to achieve on the page :: http://www.digi-com.co.uk/layout1.jpg

Im presuming I would need each product in a table or div? with the Stock status and price in the foot bar of each.

My question is, is this desired layout possible in actinic? and if so could anyone advise me on how I would go about achieving this?

Thanks in advance

Anthony

You can get any product layout you want within Actinic, it's all about your own ability at html and CSS, not Actinic as there are very few limitations in this area. A container <div> with 3 columns (circa 30%/40%/30%) and then a footer area is the way i'd go. In the footer area, float the stock left and float the price right.

You could go 3 column 2 row table also, but that's a look back at how to do things, not a now and forward approach.

I agree with Lee - however you'll need to remember to clear your floats.

I.e. you will need to have an element set with clear:both underneath floated elements so that the containing element will grow to contain the floated elements.

Reading that back it sounds a bit confusing - there is a fuller explanation here.

thanks guys,

If you click the first link again you will see I have made "Some" progress

I am however strugling with seperating the price variable from the product descrition, Whenever I try to move them into my footer div after sending to actinic from dreamweaver I just get a code error and they dissapear,

Another problem I hit is that making this change has screwed up the sub section level layout before the product list, such as this http://www.digi-com.co.uk/acatalog/O...nectors_1.html

also the product name has dissapeared, on both sections.. I may need to start again any advice?

Code your container and its areas before you do any interaction with actinic. Get that working fine as you want it, then move actinic details inside. If you try to do it all at once, you will end up with your knickers in a twist. Crack the container, then its just an easy copy paste of the various parts into it.

Antony,

Does your site preview in actinic look like that?

Do a full site refresh to see if that helps.

[Duncan Rounding]

Looks like you've saved a file in dreamweaver as the same name as your outer layout. You will have to go back to a dreamweaver backup perhaps. Check in your other snapshots.
