Preserving CSS in EW - 9/10/2008 1:47:25
I'm a new EW user and have a problem. On this project we will be creating hundreds of standard documents. Each document type has its own template and each template has its own CSS.
The problem: if someone changes a style, even accidentally, it overwrites the extenal CSS. Even after making the CSS 'Read-only' a save prompt appears with "overwrite" as default.
Is it possible to prevent EW from doing this?

Isn't this what you're meant to do though? All styles should be in the external stylesheet?
I don't use EW but what I do when I have a page which a client can update via a form I don't give them the option of changing pretty much any styling. They can add lists or embolden but that's about it. That way they can't mess with the basic styling. I use TinyMCE of FCKeditor (with a stripped down toolbar) in conjunction with a small database to do this.

Greetings Supreme Overlord,
You are right. I don't want anyone to be able to change my CSS but EW makes this possible - even if the CSS isn't open. That is why I posted the question:
Is it possible to prevent EW from doing this?
Cheers
Bill

Thank you jaybee,
That's what I was afraid of. Unfortunately, using a CMS is not an option because of the variety and complexity of our documents. Since there are only six developers, regular monitoring (and the ocassional broken finger) should prevent most changes.
Cheers
