Last updated 3/28/2012
All of the cells within the linear or rectangular region defined by the two cells are selected.
Select nonadjacent cells
❖ Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) the cells, rows, or columns you want to select.
If each cell, row, or column you Control-click or Command-click isn’t already selected, it’s added to the selection. If it
is already selected, it’s removed from the selection.
Change the highlight color for table elements
1 Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
2 Select Highlighting from the category list on the left, make either of the following changes, and click OK.
• To change the highlighting color for table elements, click the Mouse-Over color box, then select a highlight color
using the color picker (or enter the hexadecimal value for the highlight color in the text box).
• To enable or disable highlighting for table elements, select or deselect the Show option for Mouse-Over.
Note: These options affect all objects, such as absolutely-positioned elements (AP elements), that Dreamweaver highlights
when you move the pointer over them.
Set table properties
You can use the Property inspector to edit tables.
1 Select a table.
2 In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), change properties as necessary.
Table Id An ID for the table.
Rows and Cols The number of rows and columns in the table.
W The width of the table in pixels, or as a percentage of the browser window’s width.
Note: You usually don’t need to set the height of a table.
CellPad The number of pixels between a cell’s content and the cell boundaries.
CellSpace The number of pixels between adjacent table cells.
Align Determines where the table appears, relative to other elements in the same paragraph, such as text or images.
Left aligns the table to the left of other elements (so that text in the same paragraph wraps around the table to the right);
Right aligns the table to the right of other elements (with text wrapping around it to the left); and Center centers the
table (with text appearing above and/or below the table). Default indicates that the browser should use its default
alignment.
When alignment is set to Default, other content is not displayed next to the table. To display a table next to other
content, use Left or Right alignment.
Border Specifies the width, in pixels, of the table’s borders.
