Re: CSS page confusion

I thought that the CSS page would do all that, but I cannot get
it to work. Is there a way to get these divisions to automatically come up
on a
new page that i might create?

You are confusing CSS with DW Templates and perhaps Server-side includes.

CSS will have the ability to place every page element on any page that
contains, or links to that CSS, but CSS does not have the ability to create
such pages from nothing.

So, the scheme would be, you create a page using the CSS required to style
everything properly, and then you either save that page as a DW Template, or
you cut out the important bits and save them as server-side includes.

If you used Templates, then you would spawn a new page from the Template,
add the unique content, and save the page. Repeat this process for each
page in the site.

If you used server-side includes, then you would save your parent page that
has assembled the includes to deliver the layout you want, with some generic
filename. With that generic page open, you would add your page-specific
content, and save it with that page's name. Then replace the page-specific
content with different content, and save it with the new page's name.
Repeat that process for all the pages in the site.

Get it? CSS doesn't create the pages, however if you create a page with the
elements in it that are referenced by your CSS Selectors, it will style that
page as you wish.

I am new to CSS and Dreamweaver. I have created a CSS page that is text
only.
However, I wish to have the CSS page deliver a standard page with a header
division, navigation bar division, left bar division and footer division.
I
want every new page that I create to have those divisions with all the
links in
them so I can just concentrate on adding the body text that will change
from
page to page. I thought that the CSS page would do all that, but I cannot
get
it to work. Is there a way to get these divisions to automatically come up
on a
new page that i might create?
