"Dreamweaver CS3 Bible"

Here are some typical names
you can use:
.master
.pagetitle
.bodytext
Although you can give your classes names such as body, title, or any other HTML tag, this
approach is not a good idea. Dreamweaver warns you of the conflict if you try this method.
You should also be aware that class names are case-sensitive.
Tag
The second radio button in the New CSS Rule dialog box is Tag. This type of style provides an excellent tool
for making quick, global changes to existing Web pages. Essentially, the Tag style enables you to modify the
features of your existing HTML tags. When you select this option, the drop-down list displays more than 90
HTML tags in alphabetical order. Select a tag from the drop-down list and click OK. As you become more
familiar with HTML, you??™re free to simply enter the tag into the Tag field.
Advanced
Because of its flexibility, you may find that you use the Advanced option frequently. If you??™re not defining a
class or setting up a tag style, the general rule is to use Advanced. Enter the selector directly in the
Advanced field; Dreamweaver allows almost any type of input, whether it recognizes the selector type or
not. In addition to ID and descendant selectors (covered later in this chapter), you can also group selectors
when applying a single style to multiple tags and/or classes.
