Designing and Crafting Core Pages Part II
Which approach you take??”strict or regular??”depends, as with HTML and XHTML, on your audience. If a
significant number of your site??™s audience uses older browsers, stay with a regular doctype. If the statistics
for your site indicate that a high percentage of visitors are using more current browsers, go with a strict
doctype. Of course, some clients or managers may mandate that their designers use a specific doctype.
Defining Elements
Information pertaining to the Web page overall is contained in the section of an HTML page.
Browsers read the to determine how to render the page??”for example, is the page to be displayed
using the Western, the Chinese, or some other character set? Search engine spiders also read this section to
quickly glean a summary of the page.
When you begin inserting JavaScript (or code from another scripting language such as VBScript) into your
Web page, all the subroutines and document-wide declarations go into the area. Dreamweaver uses
this format by default when you insert a JavaScript behavior.
Dreamweaver enables you to insert, view, and modify content without opening an HTML editor.
Dreamweaver??™s View Head Content capability enables you to work with
tags and other
HTML code as you do with the regular content in the visual editor.
