Datasheet

Separating content from design also enables you to create different style
sheets for different audiences and devices. In the future this is likely to
become even more important as a growing number of people view Web pages
on everything from giant flat-screen monitors to tiny cell phone screens like
the one shown in Figure 1-2. One of the coolest additions to Dreamweaver
CS3 is Device Central, where you can preview your page designs in a variety
of handheld devices and cell phones to see just how different they can look
when displayed on these small screens.
As you get more advanced with CSS, you can create multiple style sheets for
the same Web page. For example, you can create one that’s ideally suited to
a small screen like the one shown in Figure 1-2, another that works best when
the page is printed, and yet another designed with a larger font size for anyone
who may have a trouble reading the small print that is so common on Web
pages.
