Murder By Design

For my father, William W Lowery, 1920-2002

Love you, Dad

Things were starting to become predictable

Like clockwork, Macromedia has dutifully updated the world’s leading Web developmentenvironment annually since the original Dreamweaver 1 release in December, 1997 It was getting to the point where you could plan family events around it: “The new Dreamweaver

is out Time to start the holiday shopping!” This tradition continued through December 2000when I joined the Dreamweaver team

Then, all at once, everything changed The nature and scope of Web development changed.Suddenly the newspapers weren’t just reporting that www.milkshakedelivery.com hadwasted its $100 million in venture capital and filed for bankruptcy The entire technical sector

of the economy was looking bleak Stalwarts like IBM and Cisco were suddenly laying peopleoff Web-related projects were put on hold across the board; it was as if the Web was put onstandby People began to question the hype that had been generated the last couple years.Was the Web here to stay?

The Dreamweaver team watched all this and decided it was time to take a step back andrethink what Dreamweaver was all about Another yearly update simply wasn’t going to cut it this time We used the downturn in the economy as an opportunity to batten down the hatches, prolong the development cycle, and try to really do something big The next version of Dreamweaver couldn’t be about just incremental improvements and new features

It had to fundamentally change, just as the Web development landscape had fundamentallychanged We knew the Web was here to stay, but there was no doubt that things were differ-ent; and with change comes opportunity

It turns out that we were literally surrounded by opportunities With ColdFusion as part of theproduct portfolio, we had an opportunity to bring the power of Web application development

to every static HTML designer out there With the release of NET, we had the chance to takethe power of a new platform and make it readily usable by mere mortals With the settling ofstandards, we could lead developers into creating next-generation sites using CSS2, XML, andXHTML to allow them to be maintained and expanded for years to come With the advent ofWeb services, we had the opportunity to let developers add sophisticated functionality totheir sites without learning Java or C# And with the convergence of the Web developmentworkforce, we had the potential to produce a single tool that all members of a Web develop-ment team could use to get their jobs done, whether it was visually oriented, code-centric,

or some combination thereof

We seized on all these opportunities with Dreamweaver MX and, in the end, produced a totallynew Web-development environment What you may not realize is that Joe Lowery was with

us just about every step of the way We do our best to get customer feedback throughout thedevelopment cycle, and Joe has always been great at providing this input Whether filing bugreports, contributing to newsgroups, or sending e-mails about feature requests and ideas, Joe

is a constant source of real-world feedback for us And that comes through in his writing Joeuses the products he writes about day in and day out, and that makes all the difference With

a product as different and new as Dreamweaver MX, I’m not sure which is more difficult:building an application or describing it Either way, Joe shows how to use the most significantrelease of Dreamweaver since version 1 to solve real-world development problems I hopeyou enjoy using Dreamweaver as much as we enjoyed creating it

David Deming

Product Manager, Dreamweaver Macromedia, Inc.

Dreamweaver MX stands at the center of a complex series of overlapping worlds In onerealm, we have designers of static Web pages looking to expand their knowledge baseinto data-driven sites Over there, you’ll find application developers — some savvy in ActiveServer Pages and ASP.NET, some in ColdFusion, and some others in JavaServer Pages andPHP — anxious to develop for the Internet There’s a spectrum of experience in both campsthat runs the gamut from eager novice to experienced professional Then there’s yet anothergroup of prospective Web craftsmen and artists who want to do it all and are looking for

a place to start Dreamweaver MX is the one program robust enough for them all, and

Dreamweaver MX Bible is your guidebook to all its features and capabilities.

What’s in a name? In the case of Macromedia’s Dreamweaver MX, you’ll find one of the mostappropriate product names around Web page design is a blend of art and craft; whether you’re

a deadline-driven professional or a vision-filled amateur, you’ll find that the Dreamweaverunderpinnings of this tool provide an intuitive way to make your Web visions a reality.Dreamweaver implies development, and Dreamweaver MX excels at producing multifacetedWeb pages that bring content locked in a data store to the surface

To use this book, you need only two items: the Dreamweaver software and a desire to makecutting-edge Web pages (Actually, you don’t even need Dreamweaver to begin; the CD-ROMthat accompanies this book contains a trial version.) From quick design prototyping to ongoingWeb site management, Dreamweaver automates and simplifies much of a Webmaster’s work-load Dreamweaver is not only the first Web authoring tool to bring the ease of visual editing

to an HTML-code–oriented world, it also brings a point-and-click interface to complex coding

whether server-side or client-side The Dreamweaver MX Bible is designed to help you master

every nuance of the program Are you building multipage Web applications? Are you creating

a straightforward layout with the visual editor? Do you need to extend Dreamweaver’s bilities by building your own custom objects? With Dreamweaver and this book, you can weaveyour dreams into reality for the entire world to experience

capa-What’s New in Dreamweaver MX

Since its inception, Dreamweaver has strived to serve two masters: professional Web opers, savvy in technique and used to hand-coding, and beginning designers looking to overcome their lack of HTML and JavaScript expertise Dreamweaver MX attempts to con-tinue the balancing act of satisfying the two different markets — and, in large part, succeeds.Innovations in Dreamweaver MX can be categorized into three areas: layout and design, codeediting, and Web-application building

devel-Enhanced layout features

Perhaps the most obvious new feature is Dreamweaver’s totally redesigned workspace Panelsare now docked together and, if the Windows-only MDI mode is used, documents appear in asingle window The redesigned look and feel matches other Macromedia products in the MXline: Fireworks, Flash, and soon, FreeHand This common user interface smoothes out theworkflows and aids productivity

Dreamweaver also revamped the underlying architecture of how documents and sites worktogether and, in the process, made it far easier to work with different types of Web documents.The New Document feature now allows you to pick from 36 different standard formats — and,better still, you can add your own Macromedia also includes a wide variety of basic page layouts: everything from text-based pages to product catalogs

Dreamweaver honed its cutting edge a little finer with enhanced Cascading Style Sheet (CSS)support — both on the coding and the rendering side The CSS Panel has been given a fullmakeover and now offers split functionality for easier editing and applying of styles DesignTime Style Sheets is another new feature, which incorporates CSS design with dynamic appli-cation power

If you’re a template user, you’ll also find a lot more flexibility available to you In addition toeditable regions, templates may now have repeating regions or optional regions Repeatingregions are used to increase or decrease the rows in a table while keeping the table structureintact Optional regions can hide or display any elements on a page — like an “On Sale Now”graphic — at design time

Code editing improvements

The most far-reaching change to Dreamweaver’s coding environment is under the hood, so

to speak Dreamweaver MX completely revitalized its coding architecture by tying each page

type to a customizable set of tags known as a tag library This enhancement gives Dreamweaver

users the power to create HTML, XHTML, ASP, ColdFusion, XML pages, and more with equalease Macromedia also provides an easy-to-use editor for managing existing tag libraries andadding new ones

Some of the more resonant repercussions of Dreamweaver’s underlying tag library structureare of particular use to hand-coders On demand, Dreamweaver provides hints for both tagsand their attributes This enables very rapid code development The tag libraries are alsoresponsible for Dreamweaver’s code completion system — you’ll never forget to close a tagagain!

Two other new features are geared to ramp up code production The Snippets panel keepscommonly used blocks of code within easy reach — and, of course, you can add your owncode and manage the categories however you choose The Tag inspector serves double-duty

by first exposing all the page elements in a collapsible tree structure, and second by allowingall the attributes of any selected element to be directly edited

Web application advancements

Dreamweaver’s connectivity greatly expands in Dreamweaver MX In addition to supportingASP (in both JavaScript and VBScript), JSP, and ColdFusion, Dreamweaver now writes ASP.NET(in either C# or VBScript) and PHP code with equal aplomb Macromedia has even developedsome custom ASP.NET tags to speed development

Preface

Given Macromedia’s merger with Allaire, you might expect a greater integration betweenDreamweaver and ColdFusion — and you’ll get it in Dreamweaver MX In addition to a majoroverhaul of the server behavior code so that it’s more familiar to ColdFusion developers,Dreamweaver now boasts a direct connection to a new feature in ColdFusion MX: ColdFusionComponents Components can be written, applied, and even inspected from within

Dreamweaver

One of the hottest trends in Web application development is known as Web services Web services are a form of distributed application — and Dreamweaver lets you build pages thatcan access Web services and display the required information

Dreamweaver appeals to both the expert and the novice Web designer Although the program

is extraordinarily powerful, it’s also fairly intuitive Nonetheless, designers new to the Weboften find the entire process overwhelming — understandably so To give folks a bird’s-eyeview of the overall use of Dreamweaver in Web site design and production, this edition includes

a Quick Start in Chapter 2 In this chapter, you’ll see how one designer — yours truly — workswith Dreamweaver in every aspect of building Web pages and constructing a site

Who Should Read This Book?

Dreamweaver attracts a wide range of Web developers Because it’s the first Web authoringtool that doesn’t rewrite original code, veteran designers are drawn to using Dreamweaver

as their first visual editor Because it also automates complicated effects, beginning Web

designers are interested in Dreamweaver’s power and performance Dreamweaver MX Bible

addresses the full spectrum of Web professionals, providing basic information on HTML ifyou’re just starting, as well as advanced tips and tricks for seasoned pros Moreover, thisbook is a complete reference for everyone working with Dreamweaver on a daily basis

What Hardware and Software Do You Need?

Dreamweaver MX Bible includes coverage of Dreamweaver MX If you don’t own a copy of

the program, you can use the trial version on this book’s CD-ROM Written to be independent, this book covers both the Macintosh and Windows versions of DreamweaverMX

platform-Macintosh

Macromedia recommends the following minimum requirements for running Dreamweaver on

a Macintosh:

✦ Macintosh PowerPC (G3 or higher recommended)

✦ Mac OS 9.1 or higher or Mac OS 10.1 or higher

✦ 96MB of available RAM

✦ 275MB of available disk space

✦ 256-color monitor capable of 800 × 600 resolution (OS X requires thousands of colors)

✦ CD-ROM drive

✦ 275MB of available disk space

✦ 256-color monitor capable of 800 × 600 resolution

✦ CD-ROM driveThese are the minimum requirements As with all graphics-based design tools, more capabil-ity is definitely better for using Dreamweaver, especially in terms of memory and processorspeed

How This Book Is Organized

Dreamweaver MX Bible can take you from raw beginner to full-fledged professional if read

cover to cover However, you’re more likely to read each section as needed, taking the

neces-sary information and coming back later To facilitate this approach, Dreamweaver MX Bible is

divided into seven major task-oriented parts After you’re familiar with Dreamweaver, feel free

to skip around the book, using it as a reference guide as you build up your own knowledgebase

The early chapters present the basics, and all chapters contain clearly written steps for thetasks you need to perform In later chapters, you encounter sections labeled Dreamweaver

Techniques Dreamweaver Techniques are step-by-step instructions for accomplishing specific

Web designer tasks — for example, building an image map that uses rollovers, or eliminatingunderlines from hyperlinks through Cascading Style Sheets Naturally, you can also use theDreamweaver Techniques as stepping stones for your own explorations into Web page creation

If you’re running Dreamweaver while reading this book, don’t forget to use the CD-ROM Anintegral element of the book, the accompanying CD-ROM offers a vast number of additionalDreamweaver server behaviors, objects, commands, and other extensions in addition to rele-vant code from the book

Part I: Dreamweaver MX Basics

Part I begins with an overview of Dreamweaver’s philosophy and design To get the most out

of the program, you need to understand the key advantages it offers over other authoring grams and the deficiencies that it addresses Part I takes you all the way to setting up yourfirst site In Chapter 2, you’ll get an overview of the Web development process as a quick start

pro-to Dreamweaver The other opening chapters give you a full reference pro-to the Dreamweaverinterface and all of its customizable features

Note

Preface

Part II: Web Design and Layout

Although Dreamweaver is partly a visual design tool, its roots derive from the language of theWeb: HTML Part II gives you a solid foundation in the basics of HTML, even if you’ve neverseen code, as well as showing you how to get the most out of Dreamweaver’s code environ-ment with any language The three fundamentals of static Web pages are text, images, andlinks You explore how to incorporate these elements to their fullest extent in Chapters 7, 8,and 9, respectively Chapter 10 examines the various uses of tables — from a clear presenta-tion of data to organizing entire Web pages Here you learn how to use Dreamweaver’s visualtable editing capabilities to resize and reshape your HTML tables quickly Forms are an essen-tial element in dynamic Web page design — you’ll learn all about them in Chapter 11 Chapter

12 examines another fundamental HTML option: lists You study the list in all of its forms:

numbered lists, bulleted lists, definition lists, nested lists, and more

Chapter 13 is devoted to image maps and shows how to use Dreamweaver’s built-in Image Maptools to create client-side image maps The chapter also explains how you can build server-sideimage maps and demonstrates a revised technique for creating image map rollovers Chapter

14 investigates the somewhat complex world of frames — and shows how Dreamweaver hasgreatly simplified the task of building and managing these multifile creations, particularlywith the new Frame objects You also learn how to handle more advanced design tasks such

as updating multiple frames with just one click

Part III: Incorporating Dynamic Data

Chapter 15 begins an in-depth investigation of Dreamweaver’s power to create dynamic Webpages by describing how to set up your basic connections and recordsets Chapter 16 explainshow to insert text from a data source on to your Web page and how to format it once it’sincorporated You’ll also see how to relate other Web page elements — such as images, Flashmovies, and other media files — to a data source Chapter 17 continues the exploration bydelving into Dreamweaver’s powerful Repeat Region server behavior as well as discussingtechniques for hiding and showing your data at will

One of Dreamweaver’s most useful features, the Live Data Preview, is explored extensively inChapter 18 Chapter 19 enters the world of multipage applications and explains how variablesand other data can be passed from one page to another

Part IV: Dynamic HTML and Dreamweaver

Dynamic HTML brought a new world of promises to Web designers — promises that went

largely unfulfilled until Dreamweaver was released Part IV of the Dreamweaver MX Bible

examines this brave new world of pixel-perfect positioning, layers that fly in and then pear as if by magic, and Web sites that can change their look and feel at the click of a mouse

disap-Chapter 20 takes a detailed look at the elegance of Cascading Style Sheets and offers techniquesfor accomplishing the most frequently requested tasks, such as creating an external stylesheet Many of the advantages of Dynamic HTML come from the use of layers, which enableabsolute positioning of page elements, visibility control, and a sense of depth You discoverhow to handle all these layer capabilities and more in Chapter 21 Chapter 22 focuses on time-lines, which have the potential to take your Web page into the fourth dimension The chapterconcludes with a blow-by-blow description of how to create a multiscreen slide show, completewith layers that fly in and out on command Chapter 23 offers an in-depth look at the capabili-ties of Dreamweaver behaviors Each standard behavior is covered in detail with step-by-stepinstructions

Part V: Adding Multimedia Elements

In recent years, the Web has moved from a relatively static display of text and simple images

to a full-blown multimedia circus with streaming video, background music, and interactiveanimations Part V contains the power tools for incorporating various media files into yourWeb site

Graphics remain the key medium on the Web today, and Macromedia’s Fireworks is a top-notchgraphics generator Chapter 24 delves into methods for incorporating Fireworks graphics —with all the requisite rollover and other code intact Special focus is given to the Dreamweaver-to-Fireworks communication link and how your Web production efforts can benefit from it

In addition to Dreamweaver, Macromedia is perhaps best known for one other contribution

to Web multimedia: Flash Chapter 25 explores the possibilities offered by incorporating Flashand Shockwave movies into Dreamweaver-designed Web pages and includes everything youneed to know about configuring MIME types You also find step-by-step instructions for build-ing Shockwave inline controls and playing Shockwave movies in frame-based Web pages, aswell as how to add Flash buttons and Flash text

Chapter 26 covers digital video in its many forms: downloadable AVI files, streaming RealVideodisplays, and panoramic QuickTime movies Chapter 27 focuses on digital audio, with cover-age of standard WAV and MIDI sound files as well as the newer streaming audio formats, likeMP3

Part VI: Enhancing Web Site Management and Workflow in Dreamweaver

Although Web page design gets all the glory, Web site management pays the bills In Part VI,you see how Dreamweaver makes this essential part of any Webmaster’s day easier to handle.Chapter 28 starts off the section with a look at the use of Dreamweaver Templates and howthey can speed up production while ensuring a unified look and feel across your Web site.Chapter 29 covers the Library, which can significantly reduce any Webmaster’s workload byproviding reusable — and updateable — page elements Chapter 30 describes Dreamweaver’sbuilt-in tools for maintaining cross- and backward-browser compatibility A DreamweaverTechnique demonstrates a browser-checking Web page that automatically directs users toappropriate links

Until now, individual Web developers have been stymied when attempting to integrateDreamweaver into a team development environment File locking was all too easily subverted,allowing revisions to be inadvertently overwritten, site reports were limited in scope and output only to HTML, and, worst of all, version control was nonexistent Dreamweaver MXaddresses all these concerns while laying a foundation for future connectivity In Chapter 31,you see how you can tie Dreamweaver into an existing Visual SourceSafe or WebDAV versioncontrol system Other new features covered include custom file view columns and enhancedDesign Notes accessibility

I can’t think of any new technology on the Web that has so quickly gained the widespreadacceptance that XML has In a nutshell, XML (short for eXtensible Markup Language) enablesyou to create your own custom tags that make the most sense for your business or profession.Although XML doesn’t enjoy full browser support as of this writing, it’s only a matter of time —and little time at that Chapter 32 shows you how to apply this fast-approaching technology oftomorrow in Dreamweaver today

Preface

Part VII: Extending Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver is a program with extensive capabilities for expanding its own power Chapter 33explores the brave new world of Dreamweaver extensibility, with complete coverage of usingand building commands as well as custom tags, translators, floaters, and C-level Extensions

With its own set of objects and behaviors, Dreamweaver complements HTML’s extensibility

Chapter 34 shows you how you can use the built-in objects to accomplish most of your Webpage layout chores quickly and efficiently — and when you’re ready for increased automation,the chapter explains how to build your own custom objects If you’re JavaScript-savvy,Chapter 35 gives you the material you need to construct your own client-side behaviors andreduce your day-to-day workload Finally, Chapter 36 examines server behaviors, describingevery standard one in detail and then exploring the use of the Server Behavior Builder,Dreamweaver’s tool for creating custom server behaviors

Appendix

The appendix describes the contents of the CD-ROM that accompanies this book Throughoutthis book, whenever you encounter a reference to files or programs on the CD-ROM, pleasecheck this appendix for more information

Conventions Used in This Book

I use the following conventions throughout this book

Windows and Macintosh conventions

Because Dreamweaver MX Bible is a cross-platform book, it gives instructions for both

Windows and Macintosh users when keystrokes for a particular task differ Throughout this book, the Windows keystrokes are given first; the Macintosh are given second in parentheses, as follows:

To undo an action, press Ctrl+Z (Command+Z)

The first action instructs Windows users to press the Ctrl and Z keys in combination, and thesecond action (in parentheses) instructs Macintosh users to press the Command and Z keystogether

Key combinations

When you are instructed to press two or more keys simultaneously, each key in the tion is separated by a plus sign For example:

combina-Ctrl+Alt+T (Command+Option+T)The preceding tells you to press the three listed keys for your system at the same time Youcan also hold down one or more keys and then press the final key Release all the keys at thesame time

Mouse instructions

When instructed to click an item, move the mouse pointer to the specified item and click the

mouse button once Windows users use the left mouse button unless otherwise instructed

Double-click means clicking the mouse button twice in rapid succession.

When instructed to select or choose an item, you may click it once as previously described If

you are selecting text or multiple objects, click the mouse button once, press Shift, and thenmove the mouse to a new location and click again The color of the selected item or itemsinverts to indicate the selection To clear the selection, click once anywhere on the Web page

Menu commands

When instructed to select a command from a menu, you see the menu and the command separated by an arrow symbol For example, when instructed to execute the Open commandfrom the File menu, you see the notation File ➪ Open Some menus use submenus, in whichcase you see an arrow for each submenu, as follows: Insert ➪ Form Object ➪ Text Field

Typographical conventions

I use italic type for new terms and for emphasis and boldface type for text that you need to

type directly from the computer keyboard

of code before pressing the Enter (Return) key

e-mailed question from me — with a deadline, no less — arrives Warm thanks and heartfeltappreciation to Sho Kuwamoto, Alain Dumesney, Heidi Bauer Williams, and all the otherDreamweaver engineers and techs who opened up their brains for me to pick I’d also like

to single out the Dreamweaver Technical Support staff, whose answers to users’ queries have been tremendous sources of information And who’s that in the back of the room?Macromedia management — in the form of David Mendels, Beth Davis, David Deming, Susan Morrow, Matt Brown, and others — has opened many, many doors to me and shouldstand up and take a bow And, finally, I and the rest of the Dreamweaver community arebeholden to Kevin Lynch and Paul Madar for their vision and hard work in bringing thisdream home

To me, there’s no higher compliment than to be told that I know my business Well, the folks

I work with at Wiley sure know their business: Acquisitions Editor Carol Sheehan, SeniorProject Editor Jodi Jensen, and all the additional support staff And to someone whose busi-ness is to know my business, a double thank you with a cherry on top for my agent, LauraBelt, of Adler & Robin Books

One last note of appreciation — for all the people who took a chance with some of their earned money and bought the previous editions of this book That small sound you hear inthe background is me applauding you as thanks for your support I hope my efforts continue

hard-to be worthy
