The skill development
activities on the left-hand sidebar will help you to discover the ease
with which web pages can be developed and maintained using Dreamweaver
4 software for a Windows operating system. If you are using a Macintosh,
the menu bars will be slightly different, but the directions are basically
the same.
Dreamweaver 4 software
allows you to quickly and easily create and manage single web pages
or entire sites. Both the novice and the professional can utilize this
software and each will be surprised with the ease of use.
In the first skill
development activity entitled, "Creating a Basic Web Page,"
you will learn how to use tables to layout and start a new web page
and the purpose of the Launcher, the Object Palette, the Property Inspector,
and the Context Menus.
The second skill
development activity will demonstrate how to easily modify your page's
properties, add and format the text and check your spelling.
The third skill
development activity will describe how to add links to your pages using
Dreamweaver 4. Links can be added which will take you to another file
such as a page within a site, or a web page that is outside your site.
Links can even be added within the page in the form of anchors. E-mail
links can also be added which, when clicked, will open an e-mail form
which is addressed to the selected recipient.
The fourth skill
development activity will focus on adding images and creating a simple
rollover image.
The fifth skill
development activity will feature the use of layers to create a web
page layout as an alternative or in addition to the use of tables.
