CSS Formatting

What is CSS Formatting and what is the purpose of it? I would like to know as I have not heard of this before.

RE: CSS Formatting

Hi Clem,

Hope you enjoyed your dreamweaver training course yesterday.

"A Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) provides the ability to separate the styles and layout of a web document from the data/information. Styles such as font faces, font sizes, margins etc. can be specified in one place, then the Web pages feed off this one master stylesheet, with the styles cascading throughout the page or an entire site." - source

A simple example of a style definition is redefining an HTML tag:
h1 {
color: red;
}

Now, whenever I use the <H1> tag throughout my page, that text will be red.

I can also override the style sheet (hence the cascading effect) like this: <H1 style="color: blue;">Heading</H1> will appear blue instead of red.

You can find a whole bunch of information about CSS by searching on google and also in Dreamweaver Help.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.

<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
