Inline styles are somewhat harder to manage and more limited
in their effect and, under most circumstances, should be converted to rules.
The clearly named Move CSS Rules does just that: moves selected CSS rules from the current page or style
sheet to an external style sheet. You can specify an existing style sheet or create a new one to hold your
rules. This command is especially beneficial for designers who??”like me??”prefer to embed CSS rules
when first creating a new layout.
The final buttons on the Coding toolbar are used for styling your code. The Indent Code and Outdent Code
buttons move selected code blocks in or out according to the options set in the Code Format category of
Preferences. The final button, Format Source Code, allows you to style either the entire document or a
selection of your code according to the Code Format Settings??”which, along with another code style
option, Tag Libraries??”is also available under this menu.
The Live Data toolbar
Dreamweaver??™s Live Data view has its own toolbar, shown in Figure 3-14. Enabling the Auto Refresh option
forces Dreamweaver to update the data in the page whenever its data format is altered. For example, if you
include a date field in your page, you might want to alter the format from something like March 31, 2006 to
31 March, 2006.
