As noted earlier, CSS-P information can be defined in a style sheet or inline. Defining the CSS rule in a style
sheet (either external or internal) has the benefit of truly separating content from presentation, which, in
turn, makes it easier to reshape the content via another style sheet for another medium. A block of text, for
example, can be positioned on the right when viewed in a monitor and left when printed out. Moreover,
many designers find that centralizing the layout information in a style sheet is a far more effective way to
work. Often the same layout is used on multiple pages of a site; with CSS-P rules in an external style sheet,
you can modify the layout of all the related pages simply by altering the CSS in the style sheet. To accomplish
the same change when the CSS is applied inline would require extensive search-and-replace and the
re-uploading of every altered file.
Dreamweaver recognizes the importance of the
tag in modern Web site design with the integration of
the
object. Not only is the insertion of the
tag now possible in Design view, but Dreamweaver
also provides visual feedback indicating placement and easy modification through the Property and Tag
inspectors.
