Adding content to pages
Last updated 3/28/2012
Class Displays the class style that is currently applied to the selected text. If no styles have been applied to the selection,
the pop-up menu shows No CSS Style. If multiple styles have been applied to the selection, the menu is blank.
Use the Style menu to do any of the following:
• Select the style you want to apply to the selection.
• Select None to remove the currently selected style.
• Select Rename to rename the style.
• Select Attach Style Sheet to open a dialog box that lets you attach an external style sheet to the page.
Bold Applies either <b> or <strong> to the selected text according to the style preference set in the General category
of the Preferences dialog box.
Italic Applies either <i> or <em> to the selected text according to the style preference set in the General category of the
Preferences dialog box.
Unordered List Creates a bulleted list of the selected text. If no text is selected, a new bulleted list is started.
Ordered List Creates a numbered list of the selected text. If no text is selected, a new numbered list is started.
Blockquote and Remove Blockquote Indent or remove indentation from the selected text by applying or removing the
blockquote tag. In a list, indenting creates a nested list and removing the indentation unnests the list.
Link Creates a hypertext link of the selected text. Click the folder icon to browse to a file in your site; type the URL;
drag the Point-To-File icon to a file in the Files panel; or drag a file from the Files panel into the box.
Title Specifies the textual tooltip for a hypertext link.
Target Specifies the frame or window in which the linked document will load:
• _blank loads the linked file in a new, unnamed browser window.
• _parent loads the linked file in the parent frameset or window of the frame that contains the link. If the frame
containing the link is not nested, the linked file loads into the full browser window.
• _self loads the linked file in the same frame or window as the link. This target is implied, so you generally don’t
need to specify it.
• _top loads the linked file in the full browser window, thereby removing all frames.
Rename a class from the HTML Property inspector
Dreamweaver displays all of the classes available to your page in the Class menu of the HTML Property inspector. You
can rename styles in this list by selecting the Rename option at the end of the list of class styles.
1 Select Rename from the text Property inspector Style pop-up menu.
2 Select the style you want to rename from the Rename Style pop-up menu.
3 Enter a new name in the New Name text field and click OK.
Spell check a web page
Use the Check Spelling command to check the spelling in the current document. The document must be a web page
(for example, an HTML, ColdFusion, or PHP page). The Check Spelling command does not work on text files or XML
files.
Additionally, the Check Spelling command ignores HTML tags and attribute values.
