sunseenli -> Changing DW's default border settings (9/17/2007 14:47:42)

Hi all,

I'm creating a very image-intensive website through dreamweaver, where smaller versions of the pictures serve as thumbnails linking to full-size pictures (very basic.) The thing is, I'd rather not have borders (you know, the blue lines denoting a link) around any of the thumbnails. I can just go into Properites and put "0" in the border tag, but when I'm doing hundreds of images a day that can get really monotonous. Is there a way I can change a setting in Dreamweaver so the default is border=0 and I'd have to change it if I *did* want a border? It's maddening because Dreamweaver 8 did just that, but now that I've upgraded to CS3 it seems like I'm stuck...

Thanks in advance,
Crissy

Add 
img {border:none;}


to your stylesheet

Where should I add that? I wasn't using CSS, does Dreamweaver create a stylesheet automatically?

It should be in the head of your document. Let me know if you need help finding that.

Hi Rich,

Two things:

1) I tried putting that in the header, it didn't seem to work; there was still a border around the image both in Dreamweaver, and in IE when I tested it.

2) Ideally, I'd really like to set this up so that it's just something Dreamweaver does by default, like how I was able to tell it to save my pages as .htm rather than as .html. I'd hate to have to insert code into every page I make from now on just to tell it not to put a link border around my thumbnails. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Crissy

Do you have a link I could look at? That would help a lot.

Sure:

Like I said, it's relatively easy enough to just change the border attribute to "0" every time I add a picture...it's just a massive time waster (not to mention monotonous) to have to do that EVERY time I add a picture, considering the site is nothing other than a large image gallery.

Especially since that USED to be the Dreamweaver default--I'd add a an image, make it a link, and it wouldn't have a border. If I wanted it to have a border, then I'd have to go change it.

I've tried looking through the "Preferences" for Dreamweaver to see if there's a box I can tick to change it, but so far, no luck, and I've had no luck searching for the answer through Google, either.

Crikey you really aren't using CSS!!

Ok so you need to add it like this: 

<style type="text/css">
<!--
img {border:none;}
-->
</style>



caz -> RE: Changing DW's default border settings (9/17/2007 20:04:39)

Crissy, until mar gets back to you try adding Tailslide's answer to your pages like this, 

<html>
 <head>
  <title>
   Super Sailor Venus
  </title>
 <style type="text/css">
<!--
img {border:none;}
-->
</style>
 </head>


You will have to do this in the code view though. At least it will be only changes per page rather than per image.

Crissy let me know if Tails suggestion worked?
