Making a website with Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS4

A tutorial on how to make a simple and easy 4 page website using fireworks mostly and dreamweaver for the content.

I will add more vids to the series for making more than one page and linking them all together and also how to embed things like youtube vids or music.

I've made my layout and all that good stuff. But my content in my sidebar box and main content area just stretches as I keep writing.

For instance, I can type 1000 characters on one line and the page just stretches across. How do I lock the content area?

@rievley15 you need to set its width, use css in the right hand pane in dreamweaver or select the cell/div tag and set the width in the properties bar on the bottom.

Quick question, how do you flush the heard to the top? Although you didn't do this in the video, it's something that I'd like to do. I have some space between the header and the top that I'd like to get rid of.

@epics7 you have to set the padding I think, use css and if using dreamweaver, check in the pane on the right hand side

@joshthewacko

Nice tutorial!

Help me! I have set the width in order to stop my cell/div tag from stretching across and ruining my webpage, but i have not managed to do it succesfully, seriously it's driving me mad. Basically it works for the first line of text, but then after that it just goes out of the cell/div tag without stretching it, but not having the text on a new line. I've spent 7 hours trying to work this out, and now i think i may need a phsyciatrist.

thanks.

@Millionofus Uhm yeah that will require some learning on your part lazy ass. He is talking about all the basics, you just want to click and drag a website. Try wix.com for that.
