In both All and Current modes, the CSS Styles panel contains three buttons that let you alter the view in the Properties pane (the bottom pane):

A.

Category View

B.

List View

C.

Set Properties View

Category View

Divides the Dreamweaver-supported CSS properties into eight categories: font, background, block, border, box, list, positioning, and extensions. Each category’s properties are contained in a list that you expand or collapse by clicking the Plus (+) button next to the category name. Set properties appear (in blue) at the top of the list.

List View

Displays all of the Dreamweaver-supported CSS properties in alphabetical order. Set properties appear (in blue) at the top of the list.

Set Properties View

Displays only those properties that have been set. Set Properties view is the default view.

In both All and Current modes, the CSS Styles panel also contains the following buttons:

A.

Attach Style Sheet

B.

New CSS Rule

C.

Edit Style

D.

Delete CSS rule

Attach Style Sheet

Opens the Link External Style Sheet dialog box. Select an external style sheet to link to or import into your current document.

New CSS Rule

Opens a dialog box in which you can select the type of style you’re creating—for example, to create a class style, redefine an HTML tag, or to define a CSS selector.

Edit Style

Opens a dialog box in which you can edit the styles in the current document or in an external style sheet.

Delete CSS Rule

Removes the selected rule or property from the CSS Styles panel, and removes the formatting from any element to which it was applied. (It does not, however, remove class or ID properties referenced by that style). The Delete CSS Rule button can also detach (or “unlink”) an attached CSS style sheet.

Right-click (Windows) or Control‑click (Macintosh) the CSS Styles panel to open a context menu of options for working with CSS style sheet commands.
