Imagine that you have a recordset containing 100 records, for example. Usually you wouldn't want to display all 100 records at once, as it's far too much information for a web site visitor to take in at once, and it can also make your web pages slow to load. Instead, it's much more desirable to be able to show the user 10 records at a time for example, and let them move back and forth between pages. A perfect example of this is a search engine such as Google, although it can be used on any web site that uses dynamic data.

And this is all great if you have existing images to work with, but what happens if you want to draw simple shapes dynamically within your image?

This article is a round-up of a variety of CSS tips and tricks for users of Dreamweaver MX 2004. I’ve based these tips on questions that I have either received or have seen people asking on mailing lists and mails to me, and they cover a wide range of the CSS tools in Dreamweaver. I'm using MX 2004, but the tutorial is appropriate for both DMX "Classic" and DMX 2004.
