Adding content to pages
Last updated 3/28/2012
Visited Links Specifies the color to apply to visited links.
Rollover Links Specifies the color to apply when a mouse (or pointer) hovers over a link.
Active Links Specifies the color to apply when a mouse (or pointer) clicks on a link
Underline Style Specifies the underline style to apply to links. If your page already has an underline link style defined
(through an external CSS style sheet for example), the Underline Style menu defaults to a “don’t change” option. This
option alerts you to a link style that has been defined. If you modify the underline link style using the Page Properties
dialog box, Dreamweaver will change the previous link definition.
Set CSS heading properties for an entire page
You can specify fonts, font sizes, and colors for your page headings. By default, Dreamweaver creates CSS rules for your
headings and applies them to all headings you use on the page. (The rules are embedded in the head section of the
page.)
Headings are available for selection in HTML Property inspector.
1 Select Modify > Page Properties, or click the Page Properties button in the text Property inspector.
2 Choose the Headings (CSS) category and set the options.
Heading Font Specifies the default font family to use for headings. Dreamweaver will use the font family you specify
unless another font is specifically set for a text element.
Heading 1 through Heading 6 Specify the font size and color to use for up to six levels of heading tags.
Set title and encoding properties for a page
The Title/Encoding Page Properties options let you specify the document encoding type that is specific to the language
used to author your web pages as well as specify which Unicode Normalization Form to use with that encoding type.
1 Select Modify > Page Properties, or click the Page Properties button in the text Property inspector.
2 Choose the Title/Encoding category and set the options.
Title Specifies the page title that appears in the title bar of the Document window and most browser windows.
Document Type (DTD) Specifies a document type definition. For example, you can make an HTML document
XHTML-compliant by selecting XHTML 1.0 Transitional or XHTML 1.0 Strict from the pop-up menu.
Encoding Specifies the encoding used for characters in the document.
If you select Unicode (UTF-8) as the document encoding, entity encoding is not necessary because UTF-8 can safely
represent all characters. If you select another document encoding, entity encoding may be necessary to represent
certain characters. For more information on character entities, see
www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html.
Reload Converts the existing document, or reopens it using the new encoding.
Unicode Normalization Form Enabled only if you select UTF-8 as a document encoding. There are four Unicode
Normalization Forms. The most important is Normalization Form C because it’s the most common form used in the
Character Model for the World Wide Web. Adobe provides the other three Unicode Normalization Forms for
completeness.
