The Dreamweaver Template - A tutorial on using Templates in Dreamweaver

What is a Template? A template is a common structure of the web site that most of your web pages use. Usually web sites follow a standard structure, for e.g. In all our pages you will find a search and a poll on the left, a standard menu on the right and important navigation links on the top. Our site has over 100 pages, all following the same structure. If we need to m

Inserting Fireworks HTML into Dreamweaver

In this tutorial we are going to insert a table that was created in Fireworks (be sure to check out the Fireworks tutorial on Creating a Navigation Bar). Once we have inserted the Fireworks HTML into our Dreamweaver document, we will add the corresponding links using the Point-to-File method we learned about in an earlier tutorial. Let's get started! In this example, I have created a page with a couple of tables. The top table is 760 x 86 pixels and contains the

If you do not see a source png, use the folder icon to browse for the correct png file. Click the Edit button.

Dreamweaver Form Rollover buttons

Dreamweaver has always made using roll over buttons in your web pages easy and recent releases even have a library of Flash buttons that you can use on your site. However, I bet you did not know, that with the addition of a little snippet of JavaScript, these roll overs and Flash buttons can be used to brighten up your forms.

Creating more complex page layouts using nested tables

When you move on from creating basic pages you'll need to understand how to create those layouts. There is always the Layers option, but they offer some limitations (we'll look at Layers in a future tutorial). The beauty of using nested tables is that they are very browser compatible. Unlike Layers that are only usable on version 5x browsers and above. If you want an example of nested tables, then simply look at this site (the page you are viewing even), and that uses n
