Dreamweaver

Set preferences for Layout mode

You can specify preferences for spacer image files and for the colors that Dreamweaver uses to draw layout tables and layout cells.

  1. Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
  2. Select Layout Mode from the category list, set Layout mode preferences, and click OK.
    Autoinsert Spacers
    specifies whether Dreamweaver automatically inserts spacer images when you set a column to autostretch.
    Note: If you choose not to use spacer images in autostretch tables, fixed-width columns might change size or even disappear completely from Design view when they do not contain content. (The columns still exist in the code, even if they don’t appear in Design view.)

    Spacer Image
    Sets the spacer image file for your sites.

    Select a site from the For Site menu, then click the Create button to create a new spacer image file, or click the Browse button to locate an existing spacer image file in that site.

    Sets the color of the outlines of layout cells.

    Cell Highlight
    Sets the color that layout cell outlines change to when you move the pointer to point to a cell.

    Table Outline
    Sets the color of the outlines of layout tables.

    Table Background
    Sets the color used for areas of layout tables where there are no layout cells.
