Just another question ..Im fairly new and have been sussing out different stuff for a website, my dad suggested he would buy me DREAMWEAVER MX so that I can do my site..after looking briefly thru google and finding some links to it..IT loooked complicated as hell….
just wanted to know if someone knows it they think that this program will be too complicated for someone new like myself..or is there enough info in there for a beginner to be able to get by to get onto the good stuff..
thank you wildvit
So why not make a table with only 2 clicks ( about 3 seconds ) instead typing the whole table. [/quote]
Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables.[/quote]

[B]"First of all, dreamweaver is for JavaScript, not HTML. Second of all, I've never used it"
Well your second statement shows your ignorance on the first statement. Deamweaver is for HTML.
I would only suggest a person who already has a firm knowledge of HTML to use Dreamweaver. I also wouldn't recommend someone using it unless they make websites for a living. I actually have Deamweaver and it sits and collects dust as I use a $30 text editor that works with various file types and what not. I've tried free text editors and so far I'll still pay the $30 for[URL=http://www.editplus.com/]Edit Plus.[/URL] If you are making a non-profit website, go to[URL=http://www.textpad.com/]Text Pad[/URL] and download their text editor. You get a evaluation copy that prompts you to either continue to evaluate the product, or buy it. I would just click on "continue to evaluate." If it's a for profit site than Text Pad cost $27 last time I checked, but personally, I like Edit Plus enough to drop the $3 extra bucks. Edit Plus has a 30-day evaluation period, so you can't abuse the evaluation period thing like you can with Text Pad. I have also worked with pros who use Text Pad to make sites and to code Java so it's a fairly solid product. I'm still sticking with Edit Plus though. :-) So yeah, don't use Notepad.

Gallileo announced that not everything revolved around the earth, we went around the sun[/quote]But it turns out that Gallielo's system is better at predicting where planets are going to be but if you want to know where stars are going to be then you are better off using Ptolemy's system. Until the US Navy stopped using the stars to navigate they were assuming that the earth revolved around the sun.

And don't try to tell me that it's morally permissible to go around taking white canes from blind people. And don't try to tell me that people who build buildings that are inaccessible to wheel chairs are being bold and innovative. We have laws against those sorts of things for a reason just as we have laws against inaccessible web pages for a reason. [/QUOTE]
When I studied Mathematics at the Polytechnic we certainly didn't believe that the laws were meant to be broken. We were trying to find the laws[/QUOTE]
but you do err in saying that we should eschew the rules[/QUOTE]
And you are a immoral and cruel person if you think that blind people ought not to be able to use the internet.[/QUOTE]

But the point was that he challenged a previous conception, neigh what was considered a previous [I]law[/I] , because he thought it was incorrect.

As for HTML goodies, it is a site that encourages people to make their own sites, to enable previously incapable people to publish the information they want to publish on the internet. [/QUOTE]

..it's much easier than the tables and is a lot clearer too.
[/QUOTE]
If i wanted then to put two images next to one bit of text, one under the other, how would I go about that? Would I have to do a second image style with a top margin of ~250? And what about a third?
[/QUOTE]
[*]Are the margins that you quote (eg in the news one) {top, bottom, right, left} or what?
[/QUOTE]
[*]can i include the borders that were previously in the table in this method?
[/QUOTE]
Does it allow me to repeat an image for a duration?
[/QUOTE]
you've specified an img style and a .news img style. Does the img settings carry through to the .news img or are they treated as independent?
[/QUOTE]
is there any advantage / disadvantage over specifying date as a class as opposed to using, say, h3? Why not specify title as a class instead of h2? At what point can you start using your own

[B]Thats wicked stefan - could you take a look at my question in the CSS forum too?
[/QUOTE]
Also, the clear:all works (why I have no idea!)
[/QUOTE]
I tried adding a top margin, but this moves them all down so it no longer lines up with the top of the news story.
[/QUOTE]
And I assume that I cant get it to align vertically anymore either (ie can I achieve a similar effect to a valign=middle command?).
[/QUOTE]
What about making it so that the text box doesnt go over a certain width?
[/QUOTE]
One of the things I used tables for was to ensure that the text stayed in the width of the window it was in - can I use the margins to limit the width of the text? (will part answer my question in the CSS forum too)
