Dreamweaver MX Info

Yesterday our teacher taught us more about hte amazing Dreamweaver mx. He taught how to insert a table.

Insert Tables:

Insert, Table, Chose amount of Rows or Columns
Crtl, Alt, T, Choose amount of Rows or Columns
Insert, Common, Insert table, Choose amount of Rows or Columns

Then our teacher taught us how that not all the fonts that we can use in everyones computer because not everyone has the same font as you do, they may not have the font you are using and in the end they will not be able to read the text. If you still want to use other font the teacher taught us another way to insert the text so everyone with a computer could read it, make it into a flash image, since it is a image it is no longer a text om a wierd font so we just inert these.

Inserting Flash Text:

Insert, Interactive images, flash text, type in the text that you want and fill in the sheet.

The teacher asked us if we know how to make the menu thing all arrayed, and he taught use how to make those buttons aswell:

Inserting Flash Buttons:

Insert, Interactive images, Interactive button, Choose the settings of the button.

The teacher said that many sites use a different layout to make their website but the easiest one should be useing tables to layout everything you want. I also experimenting with some other muttons in the interactive button sections like the navigation bar, you only can insert one but it is very useful. The Rollover image is also pretty cool.

Navigation bar:

Insert, Interactive images, Navigation Bar, Choose the settings.

Rollover image:

Insert, Interactive images, Rollover images, choose the settings.

Both of these interactive buttons allow you to make some interactive buttons of your own which makes your website more unique in many ways. This is what we learned at yesterdays class but we had alot of time to work on our portfolio project that class aswell.
