    You would think so with the amount of sites we have seen here recently built that way! But no, that is not good practice. Photoshop and Fireworks are image editing applications used for... image editing. Dreamweaver is used for HTML coding.

     

    A traditional workflow for web design could be:

    1. Layout your design using Photoshop and design it the way you want
    2. Build that layout into Dreamweaver using divs and css (do not use Photoshop to generate the code)
    3. Use as little of the actual photoshop file as possible when adding in the graphics
    4. Test, test, and keep on testing on different browsers.

    The tutorials are free.  There is not a video with the tutorial, it's just the webpage.  When you get finished reading Part 1 there is a link to Part 2.  There is also this 3 part tutorial:

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt2.html

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt3.html

     

    That's showing you how to take designs from FW and turn them into sites in DW.  The same logic can also be applied to PS if you only have that application.

    You need to turn on the "Develop" menu by using the checkbox under the Advanced Tab of Safari's Preferences. This will give you additional resources to find what each page does as well as the view source function. This was a Mountain Lion addition/deletion.

    I don't know how this relates to photo layouts.  But to center a div inside a div, use this code.  Adjust widths and background colors to suit your needs.

     

     

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    
    <style type="text/css">
    
    #Div1 {
    width: 650px;
    min-height: 650px;
    margin:0 auto;
    background: black;
    color:#FFF;
    }
    
    
    
    #Div2 {
    width: 350px;
    min-height:350px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background: yellow;
    color:#000;
    position:relative;
    top: 125px;
    }
    </style>
    </head>
    
    <body>
    <div id="Div1">
    This is Div1
    <div id="Div2">
    This is Div2
    </div>
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>
