Other CSS controls, such as Edit Style Sheet and Attach Style
Sheet, are also available.
n File: Should an attribute require a filename, Dreamweaver opens the standard Select File dialog
box to enable you to easily locate a file or choose a data source.
Code Hints aren??™t just for entering new tags; you can take advantage of their prompting when modifying
existing code as well. To add an attribute, place your cursor just before the closing bracket and press the
spacebar to trigger the Code Hints pop-up menu. To change an entered value, delete both the value and the
surrounding quotes; the pop-up options appear after the opening quote is entered.
Modifying blocks of code
When it comes to coding, mindless repetition is one big time-killer. Quite often, you repeat the same
function??”like converting all the tags to lowercase??”for a section of your code. These types of procedures
quickly become tedious, and performing them one at a time is grossly inefficient. For commonly performed
operations, Dreamweaver has a far better way.
The Selection menu is activated in Dreamweaver??™s shortcut menu whenever a section of code is highlighted.
Twenty-seven varied, but extremely useful, functions are available, as shown in Figure 6-18. All the procedures
take effect immediately and require no further dialog box or interaction.
