Mastering CSS with DreamWeaver CS3
mastering-css-dreamweaver-cs3
Adobe Dreamweaver (DW) is the leading web authoring tool on the market; Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the recommended method of separating presentation from content to make site upkeep simpler and faster, as well as friendlier to search engines. Yet it’s a common misconception that it’s tough to use Dreamweaver to build accessible, standards-compliant page layouts using CSS. We’re here to show you how easy it really is. Who are we? Greg is the Group Manager, Creative Solutions Evangelism at Adobe and has been involved with Dreamweaver since version two. He demos and teaches it weekly, including its CSS capabilities. Stephanie codes CSS for a living as a consultant and trains corporate web departments in CSS techniques, best practices and web standards. She’s the co-lead of the Adobe Task Force for WaSP (formerly the Dreamweaver Task Force) and wrote the CSS layouts in Dreamweaver CS3 under contract from Adobe. We wrote this book because we felt our combined knowledge about Dreamweaver and CSS could help you, our reader, grasp these tools in combination—the way we use them every day. And we wanted the opportunity to really discuss the CSS layouts contained in Dreamweaver CS3, showing you how to use, extend and really put them to work.
We wrote the book with a fairly specifi c reader in mind. We explain each concept on fi rst encounter, so you don’t need to have extensive knowledge of either Dreamweaver or CSS, but we do expect that you have at least a little familiarity with both. We’re also assuming you have some rudimentary working knowledge of (X)HTML. On the other hand, if you’re a power user of either Dreamweaver or CSS, this book will hopefully expose you to that “other” side and open your mind to some new workfl ow possibilities. Stephanie even learned some new tips as she edited Greg’s writing, and if pressed, Greg will admit he learned some new tricks with CSS. In the pages of this book, you’ll hopefully have several “gee, I wish I’d
known that on my last project” moments.
