USING DREAMWEAVER
Adding content to pages
Last updated 3/28/2012
To add a font that is not installed on your system, type the font name in the text field below the Available Fonts list and
click the << button to add the font to the combination. Adding a font not installed on your system is useful, for
example, for specifying a Windows-only font when you are developing pages on a Macintosh.
4 When you have finished selecting specific fonts, select a generic font family from the Available Fonts menu and
click the << button to move the generic font family to the Chosen Fonts list.
Generic font families include cursive, fantasy, monospace, sans-serif, and serif. If none of the fonts in the Chosen Fonts
list are available on the user’s system, the text appears in the default font associated with the generic font family. For
example, the default monospace font on most systems is Courier.
Insert dates
Dreamweaver provides a convenient Date object, which inserts the current date in whatever format you prefer (with
or without the time) and provides the option of updating that date whenever you save the file.
Note: The dates and times shown in the Insert Date dialog box are not the current date, nor do they reflect the dates/times
that a visitor sees when they display your site. They are examples only of the way you want to display this information.
1 In the Document window, place the insertion point where you want the date to be inserted.
2 Do one of the following:
Select Insert > Date.
In the Common category of the Insert panel, click the Date button.
3 In the resulting dialog box, select a format for the name of the day of the week, a format for the date, and a format
for the time.
4 If you want the inserted date to be updated every time you save the document, select Update Automatically On
Save. If you want the date to become plain text when it’s inserted, and never update automatically, deselect that
option.
5 Click OK to insert the date.
If you have selected Update Automatically On Save, you can edit the date format after it has been inserted into the
document by clicking on the formatted text and selecting Edit Date Format in the Property inspector.
Adding and modifying images
About images
Many different types of graphic file formats exist, but three graphic file formats are generally used in web pages—GIF,
JPEG, and PNG. GIF and JPEG file formats are the best supported and can be viewed by most browsers.
GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) GIF files use a maximum of 256 colors, and are best for displaying noncontinuous-
tone images or those with large areas of flat colors, such as navigation bars, buttons, icons, logos, or other images with
uniform colors and tones.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) The JPEG file format is the superior format for photographic or continuous-
tone images, because JPEG files can contain millions of colors. As the quality of a JPEG file increases, so does the file
size and the file download time. You can often strike a good balance between the quality of the image and the file size
by compressing a JPEG file.
