The Draw Table command is best used
to make a nested table.
3. Move your cursor anywhere on the page and drag out a layout cell. Figure 13-19 shows an example.

Setting Up Tables 13
Dreamweaver creates a table around the cell; the cell is drawn in the current background color
with the surrounding table shown in an alternate color. The outline of a layout cell is highlighted
in red when the mouse moves over it and turns blue when selected; likewise, a Layout table??™s outline
is green. All these colors can be user-defined in Preferences.
If you??™re within 8 pixels of the edge of the Document window or another layout cell, the border
of the new layout cell snaps to that edge. Press the Alt (Option) key while drawing a layout
cell to temporarily disable snapping.
4. Repeat step 3 until your layout is complete. Dreamweaver drops out of Draw Layout Cell mode
after your first cell is created; to create several layout cells in a row, press Ctrl (Command) while
dragging.
The first cell you draw is in the current background color with the surrounding table shown in an alternate
color. Cells in the alternate color represent areas of the page where you can draw more cells, but they do
not necessarily represent part of the actual table structure.
