Editable tag confusion???

Hi all
I am in the process of making a template for my new site which is all CSS made.
I have CSS styles for various areas inc text. What i want to know is how do i
make it so that only the text content is editable in various areas & the style
remains "locked"? Hope you get what i mean

I don't get what you mean.

Sorry, confused myself reading it back.
Basically all i want to be able to change at a later date is the actual
content (text in this case) & leave the formating locked. In my first question
i forgot to put i am using templates so all the formating will be in the
template whilst just the content will be on the page proper. Hope this makes it
clearer.

Not really. Are you using CSS to format your text?

Certainly am! Whole site will be CSS

Then I am not sure what the problem would be. Perhaps if I had a look at
your page, I could get a better idea of your question's meaning....

Can you post a URI to a page, and tell me what you want to protect?

The text between the > < is what i wish to remain editable whilst the
formatting remains locked. As follows:
<p class="content">This is the content i wish to change</p>
I think i am getting this now though, am i right in thinking that i really
need MM CONTRIBUTE to do this?

Flesh:

You are creating a site that will be edited by other users? Then yes,
Contribute will help you constrain their activities when editing DW template
child pages.

For code like this -

<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="foo" --><p class="content">This is the
content i wish to change</p><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

if the content class is defined in an embedded stylesheet that is NOT in an
editable region of the head of the document, then the user would not be able
to edit that style. However, they would be able to apply a new style to the
<p> tag, or to the content itself.

I think you may be seeking a level of control that you just can't achieve.

I think your right. Maybe this could be something implimented in to future DW versions?
Thanx for your patience & help. Always appreciated
