Dreamweaver 4.0 - HELP NEEDED

[double 0]

Please be aware: I'm using an older version of 'Dreamweaver' (v.4.0 to be
precise) so there may be some differences in dialogues etc..

My current project involves creating a website to sell advertising space by
the pixel and I've got a couple of problems:

1) I want to display a line of text in a box when the mouse hovers over an
image. Does anyone know how to do this is in 'dreamweaver' v.4.0 OR
'fireworks' v.4.0 ?

2) I want to display a grid in the browser window which is 10 pixels by 10
pixels using either 'dreamweaver' v.4.0 OR 'fireworks' v.4.0. I had a system
to do this using cells but it seems dreamweaver requires a minimum height of 19
pixels. That is too big. (The grid needs to display in the browser so obviously
it isn't as simple as 'view | show grid' in 'dreamweaver').

Thanks for the help!:beer;

Use the 'title' attribute on the link/image?

That's incorrect. When you create a table in DW, each cell is loaded with
  to prevent the cell from being "empty" and therefore not displaying
either a border or a background color in the browsers (which is how they
render empty cells). It's that   that is causing the 19px size that
you are describing. Replace those non-breaking spaces with transparent GIF
images sized as you want, and you'll be able to get smaller cells.

These questions are better suited for the DW general.discussion forum.

Transparent image files have replaced the "&nbsp" and I have the size I want!
Excellent!!!

But where do I set the title attribute on the image for 1)? And also how do I
set the link to open in a new window by default?

<img title="this is a title"....

You must do it manually - DW4 has no UI for this.

You cannot set a new window as the default.

1) Can you give the exact code for the image title please; the title displays
but from an empty place holder rather than the image itself.
Should it be <img src="www....." width="xx" height="xx" img title="this is a
title"> ? I couldn't make it work.

2) I'm also having trouble with the grid because of its size. (1,000 x 1,000).
I'm entering the code manually by cut and paste and the first 1/3 has been
entered successfully but when I paste after that 'dreamweaver' abruptly closes.
I have the entire grid in HTML prepared in a word processor but just can't get
it entered into DW for finishing. Is there a work-around? Why is DW forced to
exit?

This is why we say you need to have a little grounding in HTML to do this
work!

Try this -

<img src="http://www....." width="xx" height="xx" title="this is a title">
---------------^^^^^^
(note that you need the protocol for *all* external links, e.g.,
''http://www.example.com"

> Why is DW forced to exit?

Probably because your page is a monster page. A table with 1000 rows/1000
columns, each containing an image would be an unthinkable amount of code.
What size box are you running this on?

And anyhow, it's DW4, for heavens sakes. That was released probably 3 years
before your operating system was....

1) The image title displays a treat and I'm well pleased. Problem Solved.
Thanks a million!

2) The code for the table is enormously long. A 1,000 x 1,000 table with cells
of 9x9 (100 cells x 100 cells). The code for the table runs to over 1,500 pages
in my word processor. I could try a larger cell size which would reduce the
length of the code but the 9x9 cell is really the size I need because it
corresponds to the minimum purchase size for the advertising space. Or is there
a work-around?

> Or is there a work-around?

I think you are hosed. DW4 (and also probably DW8) just cannot handle a
page so monstrous.

I've entered 50x50 pixel cells and DW seems just about to have coped. So I
guess I'll just have to be satisfied with the larger cell size for now.

The site is pretty much complete now after several days development. Just some
small modifications needed. Just a quick word of thanks for the help. :wink;

Thanks Again.:beer;
