Questions and comments from Chapters 8 & 9
Dreamweaver Chapter 8
1. In Dreamweaver book, Chapter 8, page 202, #4 – book mentions dotted lines defining table cells – mine doesn’t have this – is this a difference between 8 and CS3?
2. On page 205-206, the table shown in the book has the second column expanded in width to hold the description in 3 lines. Mine did not expand automatically and my column is 8 lines long.
3. On page 207, my browser shows borders. On page 208, mine already had 1 typed in the Border field.
4. On page 225, I can’t find Format Table in the Commands heading.
5. On page 236, I don’t understand the two numbers at the bottom of the columns – includes padding?
6. On page 239, my photo column changed sizes only when it got bigger – it never tried to display the image as two parts. When I set the width to 92, it did the exact same thing.
7. My table was a different color than the rounded corners. When I tried to change the color of my table by selecting the table and then putting in a different color in the bg field, nothing changed. How do I make the change correctly.
Dreamweaver Chapter 9
1. On page 251 Browser Offset – Do we want to design our web page with this offset, or do we want design to begin right at upper left-hand corner?
2. Page 253 Adding Layers – Insert>Layout Objects>Layer – No Layer – Help!!! Comments in Jed’s blog – didn’t work for me either. Jenn, for some reason I did not get your email on this subject. I also didn’t get the last one on a mistake in the book. I’m getting all your other emails, so this doesn’t make sense, but can you send me those 2 emails – thanks
3. Page 261 – There is no Layout Table Object button – use Insert-Layout Objects – Layout Table (Note that when you drag, make sure you’re not in the hashed area or it doesn’t work)
4. Page 262 – No Draw Layout Cell button – use Insert-Layout Objects – Layout Cell
5. Page 263 – mine was 203 x 76 vs. 204 x 76
6. Page 263 – mine was 323 x 300 vs. 324 x 320
7. Page 267 #2 – Should “with” be “will?”
