Hi,
I have just installed DW MX 2004. As they say, the
CSS support is really revolutionary. I found their 'on demand seminars' rather useful and have got a grasp of
CSS, albeit a loose one. I get an idea of what they are and how to use them. DW MX 2004 has a
CSS styles editor which has a MUCH more inituitive and easy-to-use interface and really simplifies very much everything. I would suggest that you pick up a copy of it if you were to do much
CSS scripting. BTW,
CSS are just actually <DIV> tags and are 'containers' that store data. The <DIV> tags can be 'styled' with external style sheets and can be set
CSS 'rules' and 'properties'. Style sheet syntax is basically a selector followed by a curly bracket with the properties inside, such as font, overflow, margin, etc... Nonetheless, its still hard for a newbie to start on
CSS. Macromedia, in this new release, really took
WYSIWYG browsers another revolutionary step forward, in the area of
CSS. It even shows your
CSS containers in the 'design' view. The much talked about 'revamp' proves to be true. In fact, I was surprised how much Macromedia could squeeze in a new release. Such
CSS support is not often seen in
WYSIWYG editors. If you're coding
CSS, I think you should pick up DW 2004 MX and go to their on demand semminars.
