| "Skills and Drills" Learning! Learn Dreamweaver MX using IconLogic's critically acclaimed "skills & drills" approach. You will learn how to define sites, format text using cascading style sheets, use the new Design View to create tables, use the History palette, import text into a table and format tables, create templates, use libraries, create and work with online forms, create and use frames, add animation and even FTP your completed files to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This book is a "beginner-intermediate" tutorial that will give you a head start on using Dreamweaver to create and manage Web sites. This is not a bible--nor is it intended for people who consider themselves advanced Dreamweaver users (or for people who already knew older versions of Dreamweaver). That said, there are many people who consider some of the lessons presented (such as style sheets, layers templates, behaviors and timelines) to be advanced topics. We do not agree. The activities covered in this book are what we truely believe are essential to working effectively with Dreamweaver. There are "Confidence Checks," quizzes and labs in each module that will reinforce what you have learned. For you more advanced souls, we are hard at work on "Advanced Dreamweaver MX." Lessons presented in the advanced book will include, but are not limited to, Prototype/ Storyboard a site, Import and Clean up Word HTML, Search and Replace, Advanced Style Sheet Concepts, Work with Java Applets, Change Java Parameters, Complex Rollovers, Work with Layers, Multiple Timelines and Behaviors, Work with Built-in Frames Objects, Integrating Fireworks Navigation Bars and Pop-up Menus, Duplicating and re-using CSS styles, Advanced Templates (including Optional regions), Advanced Table Design Using Layout Mode, Insert Automatic Navigation Bars, Link to External Scripts, Disjointed Rollovers, Integrate Flash, Extend Dreamweaver, Advanced Form Validation, Integrate Databases.
