[thelist] Dreamweaver MX css

Sun Feb 23 15:00:01 CST 2003

This is from another list, Murray --- Team Macromedia Volunteer for
Dreamweaver MX for
another learner like myself.

"Create a new page.  Type some text on it.  Select the text and press
Ctrl-T.  You should get the Wrap Tag floater.  In that floater, type div

id="foo" and press return.  In code view you will now see -

<body>
<div id="foo">This is text
</div>
</body>
</html>

Now create a new CSS style (embedded in the document is OK for purposes
of
this illustration).  Select the Use CSS Selector button, and enter #foo
in
the Selector field.  When you press the OK button, you will have the
standard CSS editor panel.  Select the Positioning category, and make
the
type absolute.  Now enter 150 and 250 for left and top respectively,
make
the width 250 pixels and the background color something that pleases
you.
When you click OK, you will have now created a CSS qualified layer.

Note that you can now drag this puppy around on the screen like an
ordinary
layer, and DMX is smart enough to make changes to the stylesheet and not

the inline <div> tag.
