Hi Everyone... Chief Desperate here...

Referring to this page:

http://gmdc.retailwire.com/index.cfm/do/app.loginForm.cfm

Which uses this style sheet:

http://gmdc.retailwire.com/views/layouts/assets_default/gmdc.css

The client has requested a change that dramatically changes the style for
this page.  They now want the "Login for Existing GMDC Weekly Insights
Subscribers" to be a small box that floats below the RetailWire logo, and
they want everything including and below "New To GMDC Weekly Insights?"  To
float top, left and then wrap around the login form box.

Tried to do this... I started by wrapping the login box in a container, and
the membership text and form in another div container, and tried styling
those.  But what it ended up being was a "negate-the-cascades-fest",
creating a style block at the top of the page that basically "undid" all the
styles applied from the master CSS, for each container.  And I couldn't get
it right anyway.  This just feels all wrong now.

I am convinced that 100% CSS is the way to go, but this simple client change
has rendered my CSS maintenance/adjustment coding a nightmare.

What do I do in this situation, and how do I avoid it in the future?  Even
putting these forms inside of tables at this point (yikes!) is still going
to wreak havoc, as the styles will still flow outside the tables and the
browsers will all handle it differently.  They want this revision by
tomorrow... Preferably tonight.  What do I do, and is there a kind soul out
there that can get me out of this bind tonight?

Thanks,

marc
