Cascading Style Sheets
Using Cascading Style Sheets in Dreamweaver 3 and 4
You can separate appearance from content (or style from substance) Using Cascading Style Sheets in
Dreamweaver 3 and 4 (CSS). Style definitions can include information about what font the text should
appear in, how much space should surround the text, what color and size it should be, and other attributes.
A style can be applied to any range of text; which style applies to a given range of text is determined by the
tag or combination of tags that contain the text, or by CLASS or ID attributes in those tags. A style can, for
example, redefine the appearance of all text tagged H1 , or can apply to all text contained in tags with a
particular ID attribute. http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/layout/css/ - Ruth Stewart
4.Layout Table- The original intended use of HTML tables was for data. A table is a data table when row
headers, column headers, or both are present. (http://www.webaim.org/techniques/tables/) Edmundo
Navarrete
Because of the limitations of HTML and the inconsistencies of CSS, the only reliable
layout tools for site designers at this time are HTML tables.http://webstyleguide.com/page/tables.html Michelle Mecklenburg
One common method for creating a page layout is to use HTML tables to position
elements. Tables were originally created for displaying tabular data, not for laying out web pages;
Dreamweaver provides Layout mode to streamline the process of using tables for page layout. - Justin
Stewart
Layout Cells
Insert Images ( what you use if for and where it is located)
Insert Rollover Images (what you use if for and where it is located.) A rollover is a graphic image that
changes when the mouse moves over it. The first graphic is "swapped" for a second graphic when the
mouse is moved over the first graphic. When the mouse is moved outside of the graphic area, the first
image is "swapped" back. It is now easy to understand the terms onMouseover and onMouseout. source:

Behaviors - a combination of an event and an action triggered by that event. - by Justin Stewart
8 HTML- stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is the language that writes the Web.
http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmlxhtmltutorials/p/hubhtml.htm Stella Morelock
Java Script - is a scripting language most often used for client-side web development. It was the originating
implementation of the ECMAScript standard. As such, it is a dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based
language with first-class functions. JavaScript was influenced by many languages and was designed to have
a similar look to Java, but be easier for non-programmers to work with. The language is best known for its
use in websites (as client-side JavaScript), but is also used to enable scripting access to objects embedded
in other applications. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript Chris Phariss
JavaScript is the Netscape-developed object scripting language used in millions of web pages and server
applications worldwide. Netscape's JavaScript is a superset of the ECMA-262 Edition 3 (ECMAScript)
standard scripting language, with only mild differences from the published standard.
Contrary to popular misconception, JavaScript is not "Interpretive Java". In a nutshell, JavaScript is a
dynamic scripting language supporting prototype based object construction. The basic syntax is intentionally
similar to both Java and C++ to reduce the number of new concepts required to learn the language.
Language constructs, such as if statements, for and while loops, and switch and try ... catch blocks function
the same as in these languages (or nearly so.)
JavaScript can function as both a procedural and an object oriented language. Objects are created
programmatically in JavaScript, by attaching methods and properties to otherwise empty objects at run
time, as opposed to the syntactic class definitions common in compiled languages like C++ and Java. Once
an object has been constructed it can be used as a blueprint (or prototype) for creating similar objects.

1 In Typography what is a serif font. A san serif font. Which is easier to read on the internet?
Typography is the design and use of typefaces as a means of visual communication from calligraphy to the
ever-developing use of digital type.
A serif is the little extra stroke found at the end of main vertical and horizontal strokes of some
letterforms www.about.com A san serif font is a clean modern type of font that has
letters without
serifs. Normal handwritten print is also considered sanserif.

A San Serif is a category of typefaces that do not use serifs, small lines at the ends of characters. Popular
sans serif fonts include Helvetica, Avant Garde, Arial, and Geneva. Serif fonts include Times Roman,
Courier, New Century Schoolbook, and Palatino.
According to most studies, sans serif fonts are more difficult to read. For this reason, they are used most
often for short text components such as headlines or captions.

3.Cascading Style Sheets will allow the user to display, define, apply and modify the styles of each

Belinda, did you know that CSS can be used to style HMTL & XML documents? I didn't until today! I found
this website --http://www.w3.org/Style/ ------Freddie Fain, Sweetwater
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document
written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and
XHTML, but the language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL.
CSS is used to help readers of web pages to define colors, fonts, layout, and other aspects of document
presentation. It is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a
similar markup language) from document presentation (written in CSS). This separation can improve content
accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, and
reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content.

Layout cells are the regions within that framework that contain the content in a page, including text, images,
Web parts, and other elements. -C.Fish
office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP010003971033.aspx
Useful for adding specific elements to whatever you happen to be working on, without ruining the whole
page. - Alex Wallace
18. A computer or software providing services to remote client machines or applications, such as supplying
page contents (texts or other resources) or returning query results.

19. A hyperlink is something you can insert into a document that will take you directly to another document
or another website altogether if you click on it. These are able to be inserted in most all
documents.http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/h/hyperlink.htm
In a hypertext or hypermedia document, an emphasized word, phrase, image or other element that, when
selected, leads to another document. Sometimes called a hot link.
valenciacc.edu/lrcwest/lis2004/glossary.htm C.Fish
A hyperlink, is a reference or navigation element in a document to another section of the same document or
to another document that may be on a (different) website. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink. -- David
Cornell
HYPERLINK - A link in a web page that brings you to another location or resource when activated.
Hyperlinks usually appear as underlined text and printed in a
contrasting color, but they may
also appear as graphics, such as buttons to click. Hyperlinks may link to another place in the same page, to
a different page, to play an
audio or video file, to download a file, to set up a message to an e-mail
address, to search a database, to read Usenet newsgroups, and to link to other Internet
resources. http://www.myispforum.com/glossary/hyperlink.html -- LeAnna Romeiser
A hyperlink is a special area on a Web page which can be activated (usually with a mouse). The hyperlink
can appear as text or graphics.
Most hyperlinks take you to another Web page. Other hyperlinks perform special functions, such as sending
email, submitting a form, accessing an ftp site, execute a database query, or access a Usenet newsgroup.

10. Dreamweaver Templates:
A Dreamweaver template is a document that you can use as the foundation for other web pages in your site.
A template allows you to define overall site page layout and typically contains elements that will consistently
appear on all web pages in your site, such as logos, navigation bars, placeholders for page title, regions
defined for content, etc. http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/web/templates.html -- LeAnna Romeiser
Dreamweaver templates assist web designers in creating and applying a consistent page design and layout
across a web site. Using templates also cuts down on site maintenance as changes to these items may be
used to globally update the pages in your site. http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/web/templates.html
