EXAMINING THE HTML CODE:
Hand-coding a table is a tiresome task. In fact, tables are probably the most convenient feature
of most WYSIWYG web page creation programs because it takes the pain out of the process. To
prove this, click on the Code button and take a look at the HTML code for the table. Quite
confusing, eh? This is why HTML editors like Dreamweaver are so popular! However, knowing
how to examine this code can be helpful when editing a table or any other HTML code for that
matter.
Embedding a Sound File on a Web Page
There are several different ways you can place a sound file on a web page with Dreamweaver.
Dreamweaver will accept .mid (MIDI), .wav (Windows Audio), .aiff (Audio Interchange File
Format), .MP3, .mov (QuickTime), and .ra or .ram (Real Audio) files. Although there is a simple
method of just adding a link to an audio file, embedding an audio file gives you more control
with option of a player that the viewer uses to interact with the audio.
Let’s embed an audio file on the accomplishments.html web page:
1. Go to your Files panel on the right of the Dreamweaver screen and double-click on
accomplishments.html to open the page.
2. This page has already been completed for you for the most part except for the addition
of the sound file. Scroll to the bottom of the page and line up your cursor in the space
between the image of Homer Simpson and the text “Homer Simpson’s 32 Doh’s”.
3. Go to the Insert bar and select Common from the pull-down menu if it isn’t already
selected. Click on Media > Plugin.
4. When the Select File dialog box appears (Figure 29), navigate to audio>32dohs.wav,
select the file and click on the OK button.
