Nov 7-11 Tuesday Nov 9- to review optomizing images go back to last friday

Adding backgrounds to individual cells-

 * =====Use the Tag Editor (will learn more about that latter on in Dreamweaver) Right-click the cell and then choosing Edit Tag . The Tag Editor dialog box will appear. Select the **Browser Specific** category and then click the Browse button located just to the right of the Background Image text box. Find //{{your image}}// remember it may be modified in Adobe Photoshop. Click OK to close the Tag Editor. Now your image will be a background image.=====

Notes about text:

 * type away, or copy and paste from a word document
 * hitting return goes to the next line with a space; hitting return and shift just goes to the next line (no space)

Formatting text

 * click on CSS button on the left (cascading style sheets)Then go over to the font option
 * use the font family, or you can create your own but make sure it ends with serif or sans serif
 * new CSS rule opens up for now go with whatever dreamweaver selects for the contextual selector type
 * chose a name for your text- fancytext, captiontrext, amortext, body text etc.(no spaces or special characters)
 * For now just save it for this document only
 * Notice you tag now appears in the targeted rule (and it has a dot in front- more about that latter

Rollovers:
help on how to format text
 * go to insert- rollover image
 * give it a name- no spaces or special characters
 * browse for the original image and the rollover image
 * you can also make it into a link to another page- these can be made into buttons (try two similiar gradients or just subtly change the colour of the graphics or text and add a link)
