Notes about and Adjustments to Dreamweaver Lessons 1–3
Please make the following notes about and adjustments to the lessons we're completing in the Dreamweaver text.
Lesson 1
- Page 12, step 8: Make sure to add two more links as instructed in the second part of the step.
- Page 14, step 3: Note that the Discover.psd image isn't stored in the images folder. Instead, it's stored in the dw01lessons folder.
- Page 15, step 5: Save Discover.jpg over the existing file with the same name in the images folder.
- Page 15, step 6: When the Image Tag Accessibility Attributes dialog box appears, type an alt attribute for the image.
- Page 29, step 2: Note that mixing case for tag names is a poor practice. In fact, XHTML requires tag names be in lowercase.
Lesson 2
- Page 40, step 7: Note that the location of your site will differ from the screen capture because we're working from flash drives.
- Page 44: Export the site definition.
- Pages 52 and 53: Use the pound sign before each of the hexadecimal number codes you type.
- Page 59, step 2: Add an alt attribute for the inserted image.
- Page 64, step 3: In the Self Study exercises, don't paste the text. Instead, on the Edit menu, click Paste Special. Click Text with Structure, and then clear the Retain Line Breaks check box.
Lesson 3
- Page 67: Name the site lesson_03.
- Page 71, step 3: Note that style4 might be named style5 instead.
- Page 79: Note the excellent advice in the Image Resolution paragraphs!
- Page 89: In the Self Study exercises, do copy the styles from the <head> section of the home.html page and paste them into the <head> section of the gallery.html page. Then, apply the appropriate styles to make the pages look similar. You don't, however, have to add more photos to the gallery.
