With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the current web-compliant standard for formatting pages, you can build effective browser and search engine-friendly sites.

Using your new knowledge, you’ll begin creating a site with the built-in CSS tools that make page creation in Dreamweaver CS4 so efficient. You’ll add images, links, navigation and more, as you learn to work with the tools, workspace and panels in Dreamweaver CS4.
Creative Suite 4 Integration (2:45–3:45)
While discovering additional CSS tools in Dreamweaver CS4, you’ll use Adobe Bridge to incorporate design and video content from Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks and Flash into your site. You’ll also explore the option to export XHTML content from InDesign into your CSS-based layout in Dreamweaver.
CSS, The Next Level (4:00–5:00)
Now that you can create and edit your CSS-based site in Dreamweaver CS4, you’ll build on your new skills by previewing some of the web’s coolest current technology trends, including Spry navigation menus, Spry widgets, buttons, rollovers, and more.
