BUSINESS DRIVEN TECHNOLOGY PLUG-IN T11 – CREATING


WEBPAGES USING DREAMWEAVER

LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Explain the different Dreamweaver views.
There are 3 views in Dreamweaver:
1. Design: This mode, known as WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), allows you to get an
idea of how your page will appear when viewed in a browser. For the most part, almost everything
you want to do in Dreamweaver can be done in the Design view.
2. Code: This is what the underlying markup and HTML tags look like. Many people work quite well
with Dreamweaver without ever using the Code view.
3. Split: Split lets you see both design and code view, with code on the top, and the WYSIWYG view
below.

2. Describe how to add content to a blank Web page using Dreamweaver.


Basically, you can start typing content into a blank page much the same way as your type in a Word
processor.

3. Describe the method used to insert a graphic into a Web page using Dreamweaver.
To add an image to your page:
1. In your document, click where you want the image to appear.
2. On the Common tab of the Insert bar, click the Image button. The Select Image Source dialog
appears.
3. Navigate to the image file you want, and select it. Dreamweaver shows you a preview of the image
in the Select Image Source dialog.
4. Click OK.

4. Describe the different types of hyperlinks you can create using Dreamweaver.
To add a link to a page:
1. Select the text you want to turn into a link.
2. Do one of the following:
 If you are linking to a file on your hard drive, click the Browse for File button in the Property
Inspector. The Select File dialog appears. Navigate to the file you want to link to, select it, then
click OK.
 If you are linking to a Web address, click in the Link field in the Property Inspector and type the
full URL of the link destination.

5. Describe how to create a list and table in a Web page using Dreamweaver.
The basic steps to create a list:
1. Type the items for your list into the window. After typing each item, press Enter.
2. Select the items in the list.

submenu.
 Click either the Unordered List or Ordered List button in the Property Inspector.
 Click one of three buttons in the Text tab of the Insert Bar: ul for Unordered List, ol for Ordered
List, or dl for Definition List.

The basic steps to create a table:


1. Place the insertion point where you want the table to appear.
2. On the Layout tab of the Insert Bar, click the Table button. Or Choose Insert, then select Table, or
press Ctrl-Alt-T.
3. Enter the number of rows you want in the table, and press Tab.
4. Enter the number of columns you want in the table, and press Tab.
5. In the Table width text box, enter a number that will either be in pixels or a percentage of the page
width, then choose the units from the pop-up menu to the right of the text box.
6. Click OK.

6. Define the benefits of using Cascading Style Sheets when developing a Web page using
Dreamweaver.
Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, are all about style, looks, and presentation. CSS properties and rules
give you an amazing array of control over foregrounds, backgrounds, colors, fonts, positions,
alignments, margins, borders, lists, and other aspects of presentation.
