I wouldn't really advise you to use Dreamweaver, use notepad :)
Or, use Dreamweaver's code window, not the WYSIWYG thing.
You want to code a layout, well i use dreamweaver XD, do you have sliced images? becasue if you dont you need to slice it... do this using photoshop or fireworks
I will wait for a reply

Dreamweaver is good if you want to preview what you are doing without uploading anything. It is also a lot of help if you are learning because of the options that pop up after you type <BLAHBLAH> things.
ok after i have sliced images what would i do?
didnt know they still sold dw3 :S
Earliest ive used is 4 sorry, so i dont really know, but im guessing just export the images as HTML and images.
they dont i bought it at a garage sale :)
im sure what works on 4 will work most likely
please explain :D
What did u slice images on?
Paint.NET
Ive never used that before..
But try and find Export as HTML.
Just torrent a newer version, lol.
But it would INDEED be free ;)
anyway, i use fireworks becasue when you save it it saves the images and all a index.html file with it made XD
It's coded in tables, which is very bad for cross browser compatibility. You are much better off slicing the images with Photoshop, then coding the actual layout in Notepad.
Never, ever, ever use code that has been generated. Create your own code from scratch, it will be better in the long run. I cannot be bothered explaining why, there are to many points. Read up on HTML first of all, get into the use of DIV's, NOT tables. Once you have your basic understanding, try adding images and then mess around in CSS and other wonderfull code to expand your knowledge. If I were you, I would be creating box type layouts that are easy to code.
Good luck, and I'm glad to see that you have a legit version. I will be interested to see your progress, so dont be afraid to post some work, I'm sure everyone will support you!
Sure does. Tables = tabular data. CSS = everything else.
