n You can use an existing image as a spacer.
n You can opt to never include spacers.
The first time autostretch is applied as an option in a table, Dreamweaver displays the Choose Spacer Image
dialog box, which enables you to create or locate a spacer image. If you choose to create a new spacer, you
select a location in the current site in which to store it. Generally, you would save such a file in an images,
assets, or media folder.
That image is then automatically inserted whenever an autostretch table or cell is created. One reason for
using an existing image rather than a new one is if you work with sliced tables from Fireworks. Fireworks
creates a single-pixel GIF image titled spacer.gif. The choice of a spacer image is a site-wide preference
that can be viewed or changed by selecting the Layout mode category of Dreamweaver Preferences. Although
it is not recommended practice, you can even disable spacers entirely in the Layout mode category of
Preferences.
Summary
Tables are extremely powerful Web-page??“design tools. Dreamweaver enables you to modify both the
appearance and the structure of your HTML tables through a combination of Property inspectors, dialog
boxes, and click-and-drag mouse movements. Mastering tables is an essential skill for any modern Web
designer and worth the somewhat challenging learning curve.
