DW Design Mode not rendering properly

Question

Can anyone help me with this one ...
Grab the source from this site
http://www.s-3corp.com/ and save
the
page. Open it in DW design mode. try to select the text and
edit it
from within DW design mode?
If I want to edit the content - I must do it in code view. If
I attempt
to select text in design view - then DW selects the entire
containing
div - which is really really annoying.
Any ideas? I assume it is a setting of some kind - except
this is the
only site I have that does this. So then I think it is in the
code
somehow? The styling? AARRRGHH!! :)
Thanks,
Chris

Answer 1

It's a pragmatic solution to the problem of fitting 5 pounds
of content into
a 3 pound box. If you have content in a region that must
scroll, and if
DW's design view were to show you all of the content, it
would break your
layout. This is the solution to that issue....
