Changing the font colour in Dreamweaver using CSS

Hi Jackie,

I hope you enjoyed your Dreamweaver Introduction course yesterday.

There are a few ways to change the font colour. You can simply select the text in design view, then on the properties panel use the colour selector to change the text.

Originally, this used to add code around the text like this:

<font color="#FFFFFF">Your text</font>

But the font tag has now been depreciated.

You might notice that in Dreamweaver 8, they create a new CSS style with the colour you have chosen, and apply the new style to your selection. Like this:
css
.jackie1 {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
html
<p class="jackie1">Your paragraph</p>

Don't forget it's always American spelling (color not colour).

Regards, Rich
