FOUNDATION WEB DESIGN WITH DREAMWEAVER 8

Dreamweaver is macromedia´s best-selling web design/development environment, and the updated version of dreamweaver will be available later this year. dreamweaver has the capability to generate dynamic website code using server-side languages like asp, php, and asp.net. but this book focuses on the latest version of dreamweaver in order to create usable, standards-compliant websites using xhtml and css. one of the highlights in the upcoming version is much closer, tighter css/xhtml. after a quick preamble about the new version of dreamweaver, and how css and xhtml fit into it, author craig grannell looks at web design in dreamweaver in a simplified, task-based manner-similar to his web designer´s reference (isbn 1590594304). he covers these tasks: - setting up a site in dreamweaver - global web site essentials, such as dealing with doctypes, meta tags, comments, and page defaults, and attaching css and javascript files to your page - styling page content properly using css - working with images - creating web site navigation - css for impressive page layouts that work - getting user feedback via forms then he rounds off the book with a final case study, showing how to put it all together. (note that this is not a revision of foundation dreamweaver mx 2004 [isbn 1590593081], although it will heavily reuse some of the material)
