Enhanced layout options
Dreamweaver works much more like a desktop publishing program than do many other visual HTML
editors. Today??™s browser capabilities permit images and text to be placed in specific locations on the Web
page??”a concept known as absolute positioning. To enable you to take full advantage of this power,
Dreamweaver includes guides, rulers, and grids. Both vertical and horizontal guides are supported. You can
specify the type of measurement to be used (inches, pixels, or centimeters), as well as the spacing and
appearance of the grid lines. You can even have objects snap to the guides or grid for easy alignment.
