Tips for creating webpages using Dreamweaver

This article brings together some tips you can use when creating a webpage using Dreamweaver. Hope to help you.

1) how to integrate Dreamweaver into IE browsers?

The Dreamweaver installer adds the "Edit with Dreamweaver" command in the context menu. We can also modify the Windows Registry to integrate it with IE. Like MS Word, Frontpage, and Notepad, use the edit button on the IE toolbar to call Dreamweaver to open the current page.

Change the last line of the following text to your own Dreamweaver installation path, save them as a *. reg file, and double-click it to add the information to the registry.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.htm OpenWithListDreamweaver]
Export hkey_classes_root.htm OpenWithListDreamweavershell]
Export hkey_classes_root.htm OpenWithListDreamweavershelledit]
Export hkey_classes_root.htm OpenWithListDreamweavershelleditcommand]
@ = "C: Program filesm1_mediadreamweaver 3dreamweaver.exe % 1"
If you want to set it to the IE default editor, open "Internet options" of IE and specify it in the program tab.

2) in order to use some scripts, empty links are often required for graphics or text. However, when an object with a blank link is clicked during browsing, it will jump to the top of the page. How can we avoid this?
Because the browser thought it was linked to the same page, but it could not find the defined bookmarks (anchor), so it stayed at the top of the page. Use "javascript: void (null)" to replace "#" of the null link to solve this problem.

3) when using CSS and layers, the effects on different browsers are different and sometimes there is even a dislocation. How can this problem be solved?
In terms of compatibility with different browsers, Dreamweaver works well, but it does not mean that the webpage made with Dreamweaver is exactly the same in IE and Netscape. Generally, it is impossible for different browsers to view the same web page in the same way. This is determined by the browsers of different manufacturers.

Pay attention to the following issues:
Do not mix layer and table formatting. If it is a parent-child relationship, such as a table in the layer, it is not in this principle;
Inline CSS often encounters problems in Netscape Navigator, using chained or nested CSS;
Sometimes you need to insert a table or a transparent image in the blank layer to ensure the effect in Netscape Navigator. For layers with only a few pixels in width or height, use images instead;
Avoid using typographical properties that are not recommended by W3C organizations, instead of CSS.

4) Why are all paragraphs in a group merged from copying text from other documents to Dreamweaver, and there is a format code in Dreamweaver?
Dreamweaver can copy and paste texts in two categories. The standard method is to copy objects together with object attributes, and the clipboard content is used as HTML code. The other method is to copy or paste texts only, the html format is ignored during copying, and the html code is pasted as text during pasting. Press the "Shift" (Ctrl + Shift + C/Ctrl + Shift + V) key to press the next operation.

5) Why does the Web page use IE to browse normally, but Netscape Navigator does not meet the requirements or even errors, and the document window in Dreamweaver is always not easy to modify?
Check the code. Because the WYSIWYG editor repeatedly modifies some parts of the page, sometimes it leaves unnecessary code, such as redundant links, which is invisible in the Dreamweaver document window, and IE ignores them. However, Netscape Navigator has more strict code requirements, which is incredible during previewing.

6) in Netscape Navigator, some bookmarks (anchor) do not work, and some seem to have disappeared?
The bookmarks of Netscape Navigator are case sensitive. In Navigator, bookmarks in a multi-layer nested table are lost, and the bookmarks are placed outside the table.

7) The Dreamweaver document window is filled with various panels. In order to edit the document, you have to open gaps one by one. It is too tired. How can this problem be solved?
A 800X600 resolution screen is indeed smaller for Dreamweaver, but even 1024X768 won't fit all the panels. The key is to be well organized.

Close those panels that are temporarily unavailable during editing and put them together to save the screen space;
