This approachable guide focuses on newcomers to both Windows and Macintosh versions of Macromedia Dreamweaver 1.2 and can help anyone learn how to create Web pages with this software in a relatively short amount of time. You first learn how to work in the Dreamweaver interface and create basic Web pages with text and images. Next you format text and paragraphs; add images and change image properties; add links, tables, frames, and forms; work with style sheets, libraries, custom objects, behaviors, and layers; and include Shockwave and Flash plug-ins and Java and ActiveX components. Finally, the author explains the problems of browser compatibility and helps you create a site that will work well with any browser. The author also shows you how to use Dreamweaver to upload and manage your site. Each chapter includes clear, short descriptions of each feature, large screen shots, instructions on accomplishing various tasks, and tips on shortcuts and other usability issues. There are also short sidebars on ancillary topics, such as learning URL-naming conventions, specifying hyperlink colors, and naming tables. Appendices include tips on Web-page design and typography as well as information on using image-map editors and other HTML editors with Dreamweaver. --Kathleen Caster

Book Description
Dreamweaver for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide is a fast, easy, and inexpensive way to make Web pages with Macromedia's new and sophisticated Web page editor, a designer-targeted WYSIWYG Web authoring tool. Instructions in this book are clear and concise, and they're complemented by hundreds of screenshots and practical illustrations of real-world Web pages created with Dreamweaver.

Whether you're just starting to learn the basics of Web page design or looking to build on your HTML expertise, this book will give you a thorough grounding in Dreamweaver's versatile capabilities--from creating basic Web pages to creating dynamic content using style sheets, layers, DHTML, and scripted behaviors. Nearly every chapter includes sections that go beyond Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG visual editing to working directly with the code to enhance your pages. Other topics include frames, client-side image maps, Web site management, and browser compatibility.
