_______ QUICK TIPS ________________________________________

Try these convenient shortcuts to increase your productivity
in Dreamweaver:

1. Press Ctrl-Shift-J (Win) or Command-Shift-J (Mac) to open
   the Property inspector

2. Press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-T (Win) or Command-Option-Shift-T (Mac)
   to add a selected layer or image to the timeline.

3. Alt-click (Win) or Option-click (Mac) inside a frame to
   select it.


_______ ADVANCED TECHNIQUES _______________________________

Creating an external style sheet

An external style sheet allows different pages in your web
site to be controlled by the same styles, ensuring a uniform
look and feel throughout. One method of creating an external
style sheet is documented in the Dreamweaver HTML Help Pages.
Here's another:

1. Create any number of styles in the current document.
2. Choose Window > Styles to open the Style palette, then
   click the Edit Style Sheet button.
3. Hold down the Ctrl key (Win) or the Option key (Mac) and
   click Done.
4. In the dialog box that appears, name your style sheet (make
   sure to use .css as the file extension), browse to a
   location to save the stylesheet, and click Save.

   An external style sheet is created from the styles in the
   current document.

Note: If you want to control the appearance of the current
document with the external style sheet, delete the style
declaration block from head using the HTML inspector.


Applying class styles

Right-click (Win) or Control-click (Mac) on a tag in the tag
selector at the bottom left corner of the Document window,
and choose a class style from the shortcut menu.


Converting styles to HTML markup for older browsers

Style sheets are only recognizable by Microsoft Internet
Explorer 3.0 and later and Netscape Navigator 4.0 and later.
Luckily, Dreamweaver 1.2 lets you convert styles to HTML
markup that is visible in a wide range of browsers.

1. Open a page that uses styles.
2. Choose File > Convert > 3.0 Browser Compatible and
   click OK.

   Dreamweaver creates a new document that uses HTML markup
   in place of the styles.

Creating a picture puzzle with draggable layers
You've probably seen Shockwave movies or Java applets on the
web that let you clothe a paper doll or assemble a face for
your favorite vegetable. With the 4.0 and later browsers,
you can do the same thing using layers and JavaScript.
