This Property inspector allows you to set properties for layout tables.
Fixed sets the table to a fixed width.
Enter a width (in pixels) in the adjacent text box (see Setting column width).
Autostretch makes the rightmost column of the table autostretch (see Setting column width).
Height is the tables height (in pixels).
CellPad sets the amount of space between the content of a layout cell and the cell boundary (in pixels).
If you change cell padding and a column width appears in parentheses for your layout table, use the Make Widths Consistent option.
CellSpace sets the amount of space between adjacent layout cells (in pixels).
If you change cell spacing and a column width appears in parentheses for your layout table, use the Make Widths Consistent option.
Clear Row Heights removes explicit height settings for all the cells in the layout table.
Dreamweaver specifies explicit cell heights to show your layout as you drew it, even if some cells are empty. Therefore, you should click this button only after placing content in layout cells; otherwise, empty cells might collapse vertically.
NOTE |
|
Clearing row heights might have unexpected effects on empty (gray) areas in the layout table (that is, areas that dont contain any cells). In particular, some empty rows might be removed from the table entirely, and the table might appear to collapse vertically. |
Make Widths Consistent makes cell widths in the HTML code match their apparent width on the screen, if you have fixed-width cells in your layout.
When you click Make Widths Consistent, Dreamweaver resets the width specified in the HTML for each cell in the table to match the width of the content within that cell.
Remove All Spacers removes spacer images (transparent images that are used to control the spacing in your layout) from your layout table. (For more information, see Using spacer images.)
NOTE |
|
Removing spacer images might cause some columns of your table to become very narrow. You should generally leave spacer images in place unless each column contains other content that will keep the column at the desired width. |
Remove Nesting removes a layout table thats nested inside another layout table, without losing any of its contents.
The inner layout table disappears; the layout cells that it contained become part of the outer table.
