I'm fine with the whole idea of a block.
But it shouldn't override template styles.
I don't want to change how it works, I just want to
force a certain width. That's all, should be easy right.

Otherwise C5 doesn't fit the template, the template has
to fit C5 or not at all?

I don't understand what your exact issue is then -- the content block does not output any styles on its own -- it just puts the user's entered content into <p> and <h#> tags.

As @SuperNova mentions below, it would be really helpful to see the code you're referring to.

That's an awesome addon though! Thanks for posting the link :0)

Muwahahahaha!!

Thanks man! Your addon, and I didn't realize it was yours until just recently, worked a charm! Problem was default content block added a div wrapper and used it's own css; I had two options. One, change the CSS as mentioned by Supernova, or two create my own block with designer content addon.

I went with option two. Created a wysiwyg content block with no wrapper. Now I my layout seems to be fixed and I can edit it as desired!! wooo!

Now to test it to ensure it really is fixed. :0)

Go to 'Design' at the context menu, open the last tab 'CSS' and put a class in there.
It would be easier if we could have a look at your site.

hey guys, thanks greatly for the help.
I'm not always the best with my words, or writing them :P

I guess I'm not describing what my problem is.
As suggested it is best to see it.

here you go:

Prior to adding the code for a block the layout was
solid, I could add paragraphs, breaks, headings etc and
they wouldn't break the layout so easily.

I wasn't sure how to add a block without adding it via the code.
That's another topic I might open later on. I'll stick to the issue here.

If you're willing to have a look and advise me on how to best proceed I'd be grateful.

I'm online currently and checking the forum often.
I can at any time remove the block to show you the desired result.
I can then add the block to show you how it breaks.

Thank you

Looking at the code C5 adds a DIV[Line 50] then a P, that div is throwing things off. I might have to modify the default styles after all... although I really really hope not.

Sorry I didn't see this when you posted it -- wound up in my spam folder somehow.

If you can send me a link to the page where this is happening, I can take a look. PM me or email me at concrete@jordanlev.com
