As Web designers re-style their content to fit other
devices, like handhelds, the Style Rendering toolbar becomes indispensable.
FIGURE 3-12
The Style Rendering toolbar not only allows you to quickly switch between CSS media types, but you can also toggle
CSS rendering on and off.
The next button on the Style Rendering toolbar toggles the rendering of CSS. This capability is extremely helpful
when optimizing your CSS; for example, without CSS layout, you can quickly tell how a screen reader
would approach your page and determine if content needs to be repositioned to make it more understandable.
The Style Rendering toolbar??™s final button, Design-time Style Sheets, allows the designer to include or exclude
CSS style sheets to be rendered in the development phase, that is, design time. This is a powerful feature that
can help fine tune Dreamweaver??™s rendering capabilities without affecting the final published output.
The Coding toolbar
The Coding toolbar is quite different from the other toolbars in a number of ways. First, it??™s only available in
Code view and, second, it??™s a vertical rather than horizontal toolbar. The Coding toolbar also cannot be
repositioned in either Windows or Macintosh. These differences, however, quickly fall by the wayside once
coders understand the power inherent in the toolbar.
