You will use the Edit/Preferences menu in Dreamweaver. It is easy to customise Dreamweaver to reflect your own preferences. Since we recommend writing University pages in XHTML, the first thing we need to do is to ensure that it will code our pages to XHTML 1.0 standards. Opening Dreamweaver 1.1 Go to Start/Programs/Macromedia/Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. Figure 1 - Dreamweaver MX default interface on opening 1.2 Hide the panel groups on the right by clicking on the hide panel groups arrow, and maximise the Document Window by clicking on the Maximise icon in the top right corner. Hide the Property Inspector by clicking the down arrow to the left of Properties in the bottom left corner. Customising Dreamweaver 1.3 From the Edit menu, select Preferences (last option). 1.4 In the Category column, select Code Hints and, in Options at the top, uncheck the Enable Auto Tag Completion box.

Also check that the Make document XHTML compliant option is ticked, if it’s not then select it. Web design 1: Introduction to creating a website (web-t3) 2
