Dreamweaver or CSS Help
Please let me know if anyone needs any help or suggestions on Dreamweaver or adding useful CSS.
One suggestion is to limit the width of your page. In your CSS document you can add or modify it to include the following:
body {
width: 950px;
}
This style code limits your page so it does not spread accross the entire page, which can make paragraph lines get way to long on some monitors. The "950" is just what I use but you can use from 800-1200.
You can type this directly into you CSS document or do it from the main DW interface from the CSS panel (while in your html document).
Make sure "CSS STYLES" tab is selected (as opposed to AP ELEMENT). Check "All" vs. "Current". Dbl click the "body" tag in the properties box and a new dialog box appears. Click on the "Box" category and you can set the "width". You can also set the "margin" on the left to keep the text from touching the left border. Just incheck the "Same for all" box and set the "left" margin box to 10-20 px. If you do not have a "body" tag, you would need to create a "New CSS Rule". Let me know if you need this and I can help there as well.
I definitly recommend these setting for everyone as they are in the webpage evaluation rubric.
