div to table layout and CSS to inline with Adove dreamweaver css5

Apr 30, 2012 7:21 AM

Tags: #cs5 #dreamweaver

Good Morning,

I want to convert a layout made with regular DIV (not AP div) tags to a layout as table.

Macromedia Dreamweaver was able to do so, can it be done with Adove Dw CS5?, How?

Also it seems in the past you could move automatically external CSS to inline, can it be done with Adove Dw CS5?

Regards,

George Baxter

G'day George,

Interesting concept when you consider that about 8 or 9 years ago I went from tables to CSS, externalising same to keep the development separate from the design.

Many articles have been devoted to change from table to tableless as per http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt1.html.

This does not mean that tables should not be used. In fact when I have a repeating data structure, I will often use a table.

Your question goes against the flow.

As far as the CSS is concerned, DW does offer a way to externalise the CSS, but not the other way round. This is in keeping with the general trend.

The part that interests me most is why you would want to go the way that you have stipulated.

Thanks for the responses,

Yes, I work in a email marketing company.
To compose an email you need to do it as simple as possible and have some tricks if you don´t want to end in black lists.

I have some old documents that mention it was possible to do these convertions with Macromedia Dreamweaver, I see it´s not anymore unfortunatelly.
In Internet I found some web sites that can move the CSS to inline style, for example:

http://premailer.dialect.ca/

Nonetheless for tables I don´t know a tool.

George
