Creating a Two-Column Layout with Dreamweaver

If you are anything like me, CSS positioning is a little bit of a challenge to learn. Still, with the right tutorial and a little hand holding, it can be made to happen for you in a pain-free environment.

I think this article is a good example of that. Part 4 in a series about the meat and potatoes of CSS, this Macromedia article for Dreamweaver users really helps to cut through the ‘junk’ and make CSS positioning a lot easier.

This series explains how you can use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 to move towards using CSS as a positioning technique when developing web pages. In Parts 1 and 2 you investigated how to use some of the techniques common to most designs that use the CSS positioning technique. In Part 3 you implemented those skills to create your first CSS design. You have seen how to use the Dreamweaver panels to create ID, class, and tag selectors; and you know how to use code hints to write these same selectors directly into the style sheet without using any panels at all. The Dreamweaver panels are fine but there is no substitute for becoming intimately familiar with the syntax of CSS.
