| 1)
|
Click
the "Insert Table" button in DreamWeaver.
 |
| 2)
|
This will
bring up the "Table Properties"
dialog box. In this box you have the option
of editing the following properties. |
| |
- Rows
- Columns
- Width
- Border
- Cell Padding
- Cell Spacing
|
| |
In the "Table
Properties" dialog box we are going to
create the shell that will house many other
tables. This first shell will be 1 Row, 1
Column, Width of 750 PIXELS, 0 Border, Cell
Padding 0, and Cell Spacing 0. Once you have
done that click OK. |
| 3) |
Choose where
you would like that table aligned. Weather
it's left justified, center justified or right
justified. You can adjust this by selecting
the table you have just created then going
to the "Properties" Dialog box and
selecting Align (Default, Left, Center or
Right). |
| 4)
|
Click inside
the table you have just aligned. make sure
the cursor is blinking inside this table. |
| 5)
|
Click the "Insert
Table" button. |
| |
This table will
help you determine what your site is going
to look like. Most sites have a "Header"
a "Left Side Navigation" and a "Body."
To Create this look continue. |
| 6)
|
Create your
table with 2 Rows, 2 Columns Width 100% (not
pixels we want this table to expand the entire
distance of our already created 750 pixel
table). Border 0, Cell Padding 0, Cell Border
0. |
| 7)
|
Click OK |
| |
Since our header
should go all the way across the 750 pixel
table we are going to need to "Merge"
the 2 top cells into 1 cell. |
| 8)
|
Click in the
right top cell and drag to the left top cell.
(You'll notice that a black outline shows
you the 2 cells have been selected. |
| 9)
|
Go to "Modify"
in the top menu of DreamWeaver. |
| 10)
|
Go to "Table." |
11)
|
Go to "Merge
Cells" |
|
This will combine
the 2 cells into one cell that stretches 750
pixels long.
Now you need to determine how far across you
would like to make your navigation. Just to
be safe you might want to stay within the
boundaries of 200 pixels or smaller. Lets
just make our navigation 150 pixels wide.
You do this by the following. |
12)
|
Click in the
Second Row left hand side cell. |
13)
|
Go to the "Properties"
dialog box. |
!4)
|
Change the W
to 150 |
