It's
easy when you are to changing properties of small parts
of text. But if you will decide to change color of text
on whole page, for example if you have changed color
scheme of your web design template and text must conform
new Website color, you should use CSS for it.
You can use CSS (Cascade
Style Sheets) to change text attributes of whole page
or specified tag. Using of style sheet technologies
is recommended by W3C standard for future compatibility
with new versions of different browsers. There are two
ways of doing that - you can use built-in style sheet
editor or put style directly to HTML code.
If you are using Macromedia
Dreamweaver MX 6 then you have to press Ctrl+Shift+E
to launch CSS editor or choose Text/CSS styles/Manage
Styles… from the top menu if you are using Macromedia
Dreamweaver MX 2004. You will see list of styles used
in this web design template. Double click style that
you want to edit. Then just change font options in pop-up
window.
If you are Microsoft
FrontPage user then you should choose Format/Style from
the top menu.
Double click style
you want to change. Select font button at the bottom
of appearing dialog. Now you can modify all possible
text properties.
If you have some HTML
skills you can put style directly into code tag. For
example if you want to change link color to red you
should put following code into reference tag:
<a href="url" style="color: FF0000">Reference
text</a>.
If you want to change table cell text size to 11px you
should add following code in td tag:
<td style="font-size:
11px">Cell content</td>

Links in HTML Editor
A hyper reference is the main advantage of HTML documents.
So it's very important to know how to add links in your
web design template. This procedure is very simple if
you're using HTML editor.
If you're using Macromedia
Dreamweaver select text or image that you want to be
linked to some url. Then go to Properties panel (press
CTRL+F3 if you can't see it for any reasons). In this
panel you will see Link input box. Fill it with appropriate
url. |
