dreamweaver layuout problem

i would like to do the above in dreamweaver. however not a simple page but a template instead. so the pink parts are fixed and non-editable while the grey parts are editable. anyone knows how to do it?

 

Highlight the table division in the parts you want to make editable and select insert from the menu bar, then > template objects > Editable region

 

the problem is i want the whole grey region to be one whole editable region!

i can make the layers like that but i want to make the text in the grey region WORDWRAP around the pink regions.

 

Shooting from the hip here as I don't have time to leap into Dreamweaver and try it out but how about using transparent gifs to make the text flow the way you want it and then putting the pink content into layers?

 

here is a much clearer picture i guess of what i want? is this possible?



i am starting to wonder if this is impossible to do or would require some immense level of scripting. anyone can help?

 

hey that is a good idea! haha. ill try it out and see how it goes. thanks dude!

but if anyone knows a more straightforward way of doing so, please let me know! thanks!

 

i just tried it out. it almost worked. lol!

the thing is the gif will be inside the grey editable region. which will not be all right because it will disappear as it exists within an editable region. i need a template which allows me to only edit the grey spaces.

 

From what I can see you could just make it like this:

2 div boxes one <div id="left"> one <div id="right"> (yellow frame)

Div left has 3 div boxes:
<div class="top'>
<div class="middle">
<div class="bottom">

(blue frames are text box which are editable) (black frame contains the image)

Div right has 3 div boxes:
<div class="top">
<div class="bottom_left">
<div class="bottom_right">

(black frame contains the image)
(blue frame for the text which is editable)
(white frame contains the links)

Match the background color withe that of the text background and it will look like the flow around the images.

Hope this helps with what you are after.

 

Hi there, thanks for the reply! However, the grey bit is supposed to flow in one continuous page. That is to say the content are supposed to of one single article and it flows through the entire text divs. So basically it's not 3 separate divs but 1 single div where I can paste an entire article.

 

I had a feeling that was what you might of been after.

Have you thought of floating div boxes for your image boxes and link box along with absolute positioning to tie them to a certain place?

I'm off to bed and might try my suggestion in the morning.

 

How about this?



Actually - forget I mentioned it. it doesn't work

 

This is as close to what you want that i can get to:

If you play around with the boxes you can get them where you want.

Hope this helps out
