CSS 1

[Tuttsy]

I am just starting to use CSS in DW4. When I select new style, my first choice is to select a "tag". Is there a list somewhere that explains what all those abbreviations are. eg: a br dd dl em . Some of them I know but others are totally foreign and I wouldn't know what I was providing a style for if I selected them.

Hello Tuttsy(nice name)!

DW 4 brings us a greate feature called "Reference". Go to Window > Reference. It has references on CSS, HTML and JavaScript. At the beginning you will probably need to work with HTML Reference to know what basic tags like A, P, BR and others mean. It has answers to most of your questions!

Let me give you some suggestion: don't redefine HTML tags, create your own CSS styles.

Was this what you needed or I didn't understand you?

Good Luck!

Very helpful....thanks for taking the time. I have named most of my own tags with original names as they are just to determine text presentation, but I wanted to alter the link tag so that my text links don't underline. I think it is the 'a' tag with no decoration marked. Would I be right in assuming that this would be a more effective way of producing text links as too many flash text links make the page slow to load?

Underlining of text links is done by the broswer and has no impact on the download time.

Bear in mind that many people look for underlined words to indicate a link.
