Background colour

How do I change background colour?

Using CSS to change the background colour

Hi Jennifer,

I hope you enjoyed today's Dreamweaver Introduction course.

There are a number of ways to set the background colour of an entire web page. It's good practice to use CSS to achieve this to comply with W3C standards.

In Dreamweaver, redefine the BODY tag to include the background-colour attribute with a colour of your choosing. (CSS -> New style -> Redefine -> Dialogue box -> background)

Or you can set the Page Properties (see Modify menu).

You may also like to simply set a table's or table's cell background colour. To do this, select the element, then see the Properties panel to change the background colour.

I hope this helps.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

Xhtml vs html

When using dreamwear template or just creating a blank webpage, you are able to select the markup language you want to use. The main choices are either xhtml or html. It is now best to select xhtml as this will translate all the html into xml, so it is transmitted across the web in xml format. One of the main advantages of this is that it makes the site that you build much more compatible with the range of different web browsers that exist.
