Save and Preview
1. Name and save the file. It is important to save early when working in Dreamweaver to create document-
relative paths for links and images that will be added later. Document-relative paths ensure that the images
will display in the page and the links will work correctly once you transfer your page to a Web server. If you
insert links or images in the page before it has been saved the first time, a pop-up box will warn you that you
need to save the file.
a) Select File>Save from the Menu. The Save
As dialog box appears.

b) Choose a directory in which to save your
file. Remember that an HTML document
should be saved in the same place as its
associated image files.
c) Name your file. There should be no
spaces in your file name. Also remember
that it is best to give your file a short and
uncomplicated name so that you will be
able to access your URL quickly and
easily!
d) The correct file extension will be added to the filename.
e) Click Save. Be sure to save often as you work on your page.
2. Preview your work in a Web browser by clicking the Preview in Browser icon in the toolbar or by going to
File>Preview in Browser. This will launch a Web browser as long as one is installed on your machine.
You can preview in a browser at any time while working in Dreamweaver. Be sure to close the browser
window when you are finished, as the preview can not be reloaded or refreshed when more changes are
made.
It is a good idea to preview your page in a browser before posting it to a Web server. Previewing in a web
browser is the only way to test links and other interactive features such as JavaScript rollovers before
you post your page to the web.
WARNING: Sometimes, after previewing your page in a Web browser, Dreamweaver displays a pop-up
window warning that your page has been modified in another program and asking if you would like to save
changes. Say NO – if you don’t, you will lose all of the changes made since the last save.
Links
Text can easily be made into a link to another Web page. Links can take the user to an external separate Web
site, an e-mail composition window (this will only work if your Web browser is configured for e-mail), or to another
page within your Web site.
