Moving and resizing layout cells and tables
Every cell and table in your layout can be moved or resized, which makes it easy to
adjust your page layout. To use the Dreamweaver grid as a guide while you move
or resize your cells and tables, see “Using the Dreamweaver grid” on page 174.
To resize a cell:
1
Click the cell edge or hold down Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and
click anywhere in the cell.
Selection handles will appear around the cell.
2
Use the selection handles to drag the cell to your chosen size.
The cell will automatically snap to existing cells (when within 8 pixels of their
borders). A layout cell cannot overlap other cells and you cannot resize it outside
the boundaries of its layout table. A layout cell is always at least as large as the
content it contains.
To move a cell:
1
Click the cell edge.
2
Drag the cell where you want it on the page or use the arrow keys. The arrow key
moves it 1 pixel at a time, holding down Shift will move it 10 pixels at a time.
To resize a table:
1
Click the table tab.
Selection handles will appear around the layout table.
2
Use the selection handles to drag the table to your chosen size.
The table will automatically snap to existing cells and tables (when within 8 pixels
of the existing cell). The layout table cannot be resized so that it will be smaller
than the boundary of the cells it contains. It also cannot be resized so that it will
overlap surrounding tables or cells.
To move a table:
1
Click the table tab.
2
Drag the table where you want it on the page or use the arrow keys. The arrow
key moves it 1 pixel at a time, holding down Shift will move it 10 pixels at a time.
