the Attributes tab as well as in the Properties inspector. (Chapter 9 provides more information on creating and applying behaviors.) Figure 1-9: The Attributes panel displays all the attributes of a selected element. Figure 1-8: The CSS panel makes it easy to manage styles and layers. Chapter 1: Introducing Your New Best Friend 21 _ History panel: The History panel, shown in Figure 1-10, keeps track of every action you take in Dreamweaver. You can use the History panel to undo multiple steps at once, to replay steps you performed, and to automate tasks. Dreamweaver automatically records the last 50 steps, but you can increase or decrease that number by choosing Edit?Preferences? General (Windows) or Dreamweaver?Preferences?General (Mac), and changing the maximum number of history steps. _ Application panel: This panel includes the Database, Bindings, Server Behaviors, and Components panels. These features are used only if you work with a database-driven site (the most technically complex of the features covered in this book). You find more on database options in Chapters 13, 14, and 15. _ Frames panel: If you create a site design that uses frames, a set of HTML tags that enable you to divide a screen into sections made up of separate pages, you use the Frames panel to manage the different pages on the screen, such as the three frames shown in Figure 1-11. Figure 1-11: The Frames panel helps manage the different pages that make up a frameset. Figure 1-10: The History panel keeps track of all your actions in Dreamweaver. 22 Part I: Fulfilling Your Dreams The menu bar At the top of the screen, the Dreamweaver menu bar provides easy access to all the features that you find in the Insert bar, Properties inspector, and panels, as well as a few others that are available only from the menu. The following sections provide a general description of each of the menu options. The File menu You find many familiar options, such as New, Open, and Save, on the File menu, shown in Figure 1-12. You also find a Revert option, which is similar to the Revert feature in Adobe Photoshop. This sophisticated undo feature enables you to return your page quickly to its last-saved version if you dont like the changes you made. The File menu also includes access to Design Notes, a unique feature that associates private notes with HTML and other files. Take a look at Chapter 4 for more information about Design Notes and other Dreamweaver features that make collaboration easier. You can also find features useful for checking your work in Web browsers on the File menu. Most Web design programs include some way of previewing your work in a browser. Dreamweaver takes this feature two steps further by enabling you to check your work in a number of browsers and even test the compatibility of your pages in different versions of different browsers. Figure 1-12 shows the Check Page options, which includes Check Accessibility, Check Links, and Check Target Browsers - all great tools for testing your work. The Check Target Browsers option enables you to specify a browser and version, such as Safari 2.0, Netscape 6, or Internet Explorer 6.0. When you do a browser check, Dreamweaver generates a report listing any HTML features you use that the chosen browser doesnt support. The Check Links feature verifies all the links in a site and produces a report with all broken and unresolved links. The Check Accessibility feature checks to make sure the page displays properly in browsers for the blind and other
