Dreamweaver MX

Dreamweaver is a tool for editing web pages, producing sophisticated page-layouts and maintaining web sites. On these pages we shall start by having a look at some of the most important components of Dreamweaver before we go on to create a single web page. Having got the feel for how Dreamweaver works, you can then go on to use tables for complex layouts and create a web site — a group of linked pages.

Later chapters of this material deal with more advanced features of writing web pages in Dreamweaver: using cascading style sheets (CSS), server side includes (SSI), Dreamweaver templates, rollover images and image maps as well as frames.

In addition to discussing various techniques you can use to write a web site we shall cover the areas of publishing your web pages on the University web server and of browser support — bearing in mind that not all web browsers support all of the techniques you may wish to use in the process of setting up your web site.
