    How to move photos in Dreamweaver MX?

    TerryLn22 Community Member
      How do you move photos and text in Dreamweaver? I want 2 photos, side by side, and there's plenty of space to fit them, but it keeps bringing them down to the next line.

      Next, with text, I can't use the space bar to move text over or to put more space inbetween words. How do I move them?

      Thanks,

      Jeff

          Step back from the keyboard and take a deep breath.

          Clear your mind of everything you know about word processors, publishing
          applications and image editors.

          Now, find a good book on html and css and get a good understanding of the
          concepts.
          You can not drag and drop text, images or other content in html documents.
          Dreamweaver has some of this functionality in the design view, but
          basically, you must describe your layout in html. The code tells the
          browsers where to place text and images, how to style them, how they will
          relate to each other.

          to get started, try tables for positioning images and text. Tabs and spaces
          don't work. Then check out some tutorials on div positioning and css to
          style your page.

          Lurk about on this forum a lot and read the many posts on these issues.

          It's a steep learning curve, but the most important thing is not to confuse
          Dreamweaver or html markup with Word, or Publisher. They are not at all
          related.

          And PLEASE... do not fall into the trap of letting one of those programs
          create html code for you. They will simply make a huge mess of it.
          (reference many posts here on that subject.)

          Good luck
