A local folder in Dreamweaver is where you write down all your ideas that you are using to create your website. The advantages of a local folder in Dreamweaver are that it allows website management through link checking and site-cache building.
Therefore the advantages of a local folder in Dreamweaver can help the adminstrator of the website save time on website maintaining tasks , managing and synchronizing files, keeping track of extra information about the files and creating site reports. As a result, a local folder in Dreamweaver plays a vital role in the designing and maintanance of a website.
Dreamweaver has always used tables because when HTML was young, pages were set up as plain text with headings and hyperlinks. As a result the use of tables makes it easy to read information on a website because there would be information presented as descending down the page.
However the use of tables in Dreamweaver is now out of fashion because it does not allow any other standard markup therefore the lack of style in designing a website creates boredom. As time has moved on the layout mode has been introduced but its disadvantages in web developing are that it promotes improper table design if not used correctly and therefore everything goes wrong.
In Dreamweaver the tables should only be used when there is the presentation of statistical information about business, financial information and many other things though I still believe that information should be presented in a different way to reduce boredom and create excitement.
A Dreamweaver image placeholder allows you to define the size and location of images in your design without worrying about what the images will be. An image placeholder will enable you to find out which file format suits the images you have and how you want them to be represented. Some of the web-friendly graphic files that are used as image placeholders include GIF or JPEG. Therefore by the time you decide to do your final artwork of images, all the technical requirements would have been fulfilled by the image placeholder.
In HTML, colours are expressed either by name or by using a hexadecimal number. In the hexadecimal number format, the colours are represented in a six digit format, #RRGGBB. This means that RR is the amount of red, between 00(none) and FF (all), GG is the amount of green and BB is the amount of blue.
A websafe colour is a colour that is used by the common web application companies such as Netscape and Internet Explorer Palette Compatible. A websafe colour can be enabled for use and give all the colours possible and in different sizes that are possible and the best format for that would be JPEG. JPEG can have colours from high resolution to a lower resolution and as a result all colours can fit in which is why a websafe colour is expected to be presented in such a file format.
An FMA file is a common type of Flash application that displays an informational message to the audience. The information/message represented can be changed for the needs of the business procedures that are taking place. e.g If a school website wants to change information about sporting events coming up, they can just change the sports section information without affecting other sections of the website . These changes can all be made using an FMA file.
An FLA file is the source containing all the materials you are going to show in a flash movie. A SWF (small web format) is the document or movie that will be shown on the web. As a result FLA is always bigger than the SWF as it is the source of everything to be shown and SWF is made out of the FLA.
A link is a selectable connection from one word, picture or information objct to another. When someone is searching for a certain piece of information , they can be connected to different links that include videos, statistical and factual information about that subject. Links can also be found in different forms as sometimes you can be reading a certain document and then there is a highlighted word on a website that might even give the user more information. These highlighted words can be referred to as anchors.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. CSS is used because it is more accurate and sophisticated in its presentation semantics of a document written in markup language. The other reasons to use CSS are that:
It controls the layout of many documents from one single style sheet.
It has more precise control of layout.
CSS applies different layout to different media types.
CSS has numerous advanced and sophisticated techniques.
