Question
Hi-
I'm attempting to learn Dreamweaver and have a very basic question for anyone kind enough to answer. I'm creating a site using tables (I will eventually learn CSS once I'm up to speed, but understanding tables seems easier for me to get my head around right now).
I created my site map, linking all pages with reciprical links before adding content. Once these links were established and I could see them in the site map I double clicked the index.html document to begin designing the home page. I created a table that was easy and usable for my design. After adding content (mostly images, some text) I decided to preview it in a browser (Firefox, not that it matters). All I saw was the blank white document with only the underlined links type for each link I'd previously set up in the site map. No table, no images.
What am I missing here? I assumed I was to create the home page directly in the index document window. Is this not so? Or do I create the page design elsewhere? What do I do with the links?
I'm confused. Please provide any insight you can.
Thanks.
Answer
Rich, I have not done my pages in Dreamweaver the way you are describing.
You can use Tables and CSS together but you don't have to. One is not dependent on the other.
Firefox does matter as there are issues with compatibility and some code.
I would absolute look at the page in IE or netscape
I would not concentrate on site map but rather put up the index.htm page and see what the results are.
Dreamweaver is really dependent on creating a template that you enter editable areas and then create new pages based on the template. You can update the template and all the pages based on that template are then automatically updated.
