Foremost among them, in chronological order of their appearance on the Web design scene, are tables, frames, and layers. This chapter discusses these three methods ”their pros and cons, quirks and caveats ”as well as how to implement them with specific Dreamweaver MX 2004 commands and tools. This book naturally focuses on technology and tools, but to keep things in perspective, we should mention that a good eye is an important requirement for attractive Web page design. So, if you plan on doing some serious page layout work, you may want to look into some books and classes on the basics of visual aesthetics. Even this advanced version of Dreamweaver doesn't have a pop-up dialog box that warns you when a page looks ugly. |
