Dreamweaver 8 Tutorial: Selecting Table Elements
Email to a Friend
To work effectively with a table, you'll need to know how to select its elements. You can select an entire table; one or more rows and columns; an individual cell or multiple cells. When you move your pointer over a table, row, column, or cell, Dreamweaver will highlight all the cells in that selection. If you click on the edge of the table, you will select it. You can tell that a table has been selected because it has a thick border around its edges with resize handles. |
Dreamweaver 8 Tutorial: Selecting a Table
There are several ways you can select an entire table at once. Click in the upper left corner of the table, anywhere on the top or bottom edge, or on a row or column border. The pointer changes to a table grid icon when you can select the table. When a table is selected, Selection handles appear on the table's lower and right edges. See the small black boxes in the diagram below.
Another way to select a table is to click in a table cell, then select the <table> tag in the tag selector at the lower-left corner of the Document window.
You can also click in a table cell, then select Modify, Table, Select Table.
Dreamweaver Tutorial: Selecting Rows and Columns
You can select an individual row or column or multiple rows or columns. To select individual or multiple rows or columns, position the pointer to point to the left edge of a row or the top edge of a column. You'll see a small black arrow to indicate the row or column that you are about to select. When you click on the row or column, it will be selected as indicated by the black selection lines around it.
Do the same to select columns.
To select a single column, you can click the column header menu (the green arrow), and then choose Select Column from the pop-up menu.
Dreamweaver Tutorial: Selecting Cells
To select a single cell, click in the cell, then select the <td> tag in the tag selector at the lower-left corner of the Document window.
You can also Control-click in Windows or Command-click in the cell on a Mac.
You can also click in the cell and then from the Edit menu, choose Select all.
To select multiple adjacent cells, you can click in one cell and drag from one cell to another, highlighting and selecting the adjacent cells as you go.
Selecting Nonadjacent Cells
You can select nonadjacent cells by holding down the Control key on Window (Comman key on a Mac), and clciking in the cells you want to select. You can also select nonadjacent rows and columns.
