With a
full array of layout variations, you can quickly get a solid head start without touching a single CSS rule.
Naturally, you??™re free??”and encouraged??”to customize the styles. For more details about creating a new
page based on the CSS layouts, see Chapter 5, ???Setting Up Sites and Servers.???
Working with the CSS Styles Panel
The CSS Styles panel is Dreamweaver??™s central point for establishing, modifying, and learning about
Cascading Style Sheets. It is, by far, the most complex and sophisticated of any of Dreamweaver??™s panels and
requires a bit of explanation to help you to understand how best to use it. You can open the CSS Styles
panel by choosing Window ??? CSS Styles or use the keyboard shortcut, Shift+F11; the CSS Styles panel is
available by default and its title bar can be double-clicked to expose it as well.
The CSS Styles panel can be viewed in two separate ways: All mode and Current mode. In brief, All mode
displays the embedded and external CSS styles contained in the current page; it does not display inline
styles. Current mode shows every style rule affecting the current selection on the page, regardless of
whether the source is defined in an inline, embedded, or external style rule.
Personally, I tend to work in All mode during the initial development of a page and then switch to Current
when I need to drill-down into a particular style.
