CSS Inspect Testing Features in Dreamweaver CS5

It's easier than ever to create and test Cascading Style Sheets

1. ACTIVATE CSS INSPECT

Dreamweaver CS5 adds a new tool designed to help you identify how CSS is used in a Web page. The CSS Inspect option makes it easy to quickly view the CSS that defines the styles used in different parts of any web page.

Here's how it works:


1. To use CSS inspect, click the Inspect button at the top of the workspace to activate inspect.

2. Click on the text link Switch Now (it appears just below the Inspect button).

The Switch Now link automatically changes the Dreamweaver program layout to best take advantage of the CSS Inspect feature.

ACTIVATE CSS INSPECT


3. Once it’s activated, roll your cursor around the screen to use CSS Inspect.

As you do, Dreamweaver highlights content in the Design View area with color-coded highlighting that identifies each tag and associated style, as well as any margins and padding created by the style rule.

Simultaneously, Dreamweaver identifies the corresponding code in Code View, and displays the corresponding style rules in the CSS Styles panel. Click the Inspect button again to turn off CSS Inspect.
