Default Could adjust page elements in MX, not in CS3 - 07-03-2008 , 10:14 PM






I don't know what to call this problem, so couldn't do a search on this forum.
I have two computers, one of which runs Dreamweaver MX, the other of which runs
CS3. I can access different elements of a particular set of web pages in MX,
for example resizing a photograph. But in CS3 all the page elements within the
"contents" div tag highlight as one single elements, so that, for example, if I
try to delete a single word of text, the entire contents--pictures, text,
etc.--gets deleted instead. I made these pages in MX. I'm guessing that there
is some default setting in CS3 that is preventing me from accessing the
individual content elements. Here is a sample page:

Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

It does that with positioned elements. You have to double-click to
edit inside it.

Never resize a photo or any image from within DW. Load the image in your
image editor and resize it there. If you do it in DW you aren't actually
changing the size, merely squeezing or stretching it thereby diminishing its
quality. And if you reduce the size (in DW) you have a visually smaller
image but the pixel size (weight) doesn't reduce.
