Anyone here know Dreamweaver or Web code?

Hi everyone,

I know this may not be the appropos place to put this, but my adobe support login is not working, so I thought Id come by here and ask this question.

Im following this tutorial

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/images/showpic/index.htm

About 85% down the page, I need to click on the <a> tag selector..what exactly is this <a> selector? And for some reason, I do not have this option on that particular location. I was figuring if I knew what it was, then I can look for it or add it on there..I am a newbie, so any help would be appreciated. Oh, and I am working in Dreamweaver 8.

I would really appreciate it!

Man, this is one of the worst tutorials I've ever seen if you're trying to learn. What you should do is go to www.w3schools.com (http://www.w3schools.com) and learn some HTML code first, then everything that you are doing will make a lot more sense. You can PM me if you have specific questions.

It's been a while since I've used it, but doesn't dreamweaver suck dick?

< a > is an anchor tag that you can use to link to a document. < a href = "images/myImage.gif"> click to see image < /a >

haven't written any html in years, but i think think that's the general idea

Yep, you can also link to anchors within the current document. For an example see http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_link_locations

Dreamweaver still sucks dick. You'll learn so much more if you do it in a text editor (though using one with syntax highlighting will help!)

<a> is how you embed links in an html document

for example <a href="http://www.shoryuken.com">shoryuken.com</a> displays something like this:

shoryuken.com (http://www.shoryuken.com)

ps: dreamweaver sucks? im pretty sure all web designers use it. personally i use notepad for personal stuff and visual studio for work, but im not a web designer, i do basic stuff.

its not that Dreamweaver sucks, it just adds some extra code (that sometimes is useless...but what do I know). I use it + the sexy "Web Developer" extension in firefox for understanding how a page/script works. But using Dreamweaver from time to time inbetween using EditPad/NotePad def. will help a beginner. Hell if I didnt have dreamweaver back in '02 when I was in webdesign class I dont think I would know half the stuff I know about html now (not that I use it anyways =P).
