CSS Typography and Layout

Dreamweaver MX 2004 has many powerful features that make building Websites easier, while also giving you more control over the site layout. We're going to focus on the new set of CSS tools and capabilities: the CSS Rule Inspector, improved CSS layout visualisation, improved CSS rendering, improved CSS Panel, CSS-based Text Property Inspector, CSS-based page properties and CSS code hint pop-ups.

These tools give you an amazing amount of control over the text and layout of Websites. If you're curious about whether or not to move from MXto MX 2004, the improved CSS rendering alone will make it worth the upgrade cash.

In this tutorial we're going to adapt a template that ships with Dreamweaver. By the time we've finished you'll be able to create a Web page, using CSS and JavaScript to control the entire page. If you're accustomed to using tables and HTML font tags to lay out your site, we'll teach you new skills that will help you win new and better clients.
