    We've got GREAT DESIGNS, GREAT CLIENTS, and now we need great CSS CODE!

    The designs have already been turned into CSS code that just can't be used in database sites -- it's all absolute positioning.

    We need help fixing the code so it can come out of a dynamic database driven environment. I'm a good designer, but am at the limits of my CSS code knowledge base.

    If you can help, there is LOTS of high-quality work that can come your way.

    The goal is to not have to create a custom CSS for each page, some flexiblity needed. I'm at the limit of my knowledge base. But CSS/XHTML code SHOULD be able to be used in dynamic/database driven sites... right? A basic two level drop down can be dynamically driven??? And flexible page lengths can be accomodated (like go old tables) in CSS/XHTML... right? It doesn't have to ALL be absolute positioning?

    "CSS/XHTML code SHOULD be able to be used in dynamic/database driven sites... right?"
    -Right.

    "A basic two level drop down can be dynamically driven?"
    -Sure.

    "It doesn't have to ALL be absolute positioning"
    -This sentence only makes sense to me, if by absolute you mean static. Absolute positioning in css has quite a different meaning. But if you meant to ask if css can be used for style and structure on dynamic sites, then the answer is yes.

    Perhaps you could provide a link to a sample page, or an image, and we'll tell you how it could be converted into css.

    I agree with Kari. If we could see some of the CSS you are working with, we might have a better understanding of the issue. If everything is absolutely positioned, that might lead me to think you're using a WYSIWYG editor (like dreamweaver).
