The Dreamweaver Web Standards Lesson Plan Series Part Seven

You may remember way back in the second part of this series that you explored two common methods for creating the look of two columns with CSS. First you used absolute positioning to create a left column that could never be longer than the content column or it would drape over a footer or any other content beneath it. Then you used a left float to create a side column that does have the potential to be longest. This latter method is what you used in the Shakespeare site, and in this seventh part of the series you'll get to make use of its flexibility. You'll create an editable region for secondary content pods, which when applied to pages that have a short amount of main content, will allow for a left column that can be longer without covering content beneath it.
In this part of the series, you will learn to do thefollowing:
- Modify the structure of the layout
- Add a div in code view using Code Hints
- Use nested divs with editable regions
- Use the code indenting feature
- Modify the style sheet in code view
- Use Fireworks/Dreamweaver roundtrip image editing
- Roughly balance the columns of the layout into thirds
- Use the Properties for panel for direct CSS editing
