Overview/Description
Cascading Style Sheets, commonly referred to as CSS, are a set of formatting conventions allowing you to standardize and enhance the appearance of a web site. Dreamweaver CS3 provides increased CSS support, with the introduction of a new feature that identifies CSS-related browser rendering issues. Other new features related to CSS include a set of prebuilt CSS layouts complete with educational inline comments, access to the new Adobe CSS Advisor web site, and CSS management features that facilitate moving CSS rules from page to page and converting inline CSS to CSS rules. This course examines the process of creating, editing, and applying the various types of cascading style sheets and style rules. CSS visual layout tools and advanced CSS techniques are also covered.
