How to draw lines

Hi. I'm new to Dreamweaver and novice into web designs.
I read the manual but can't figure out how to:

1. Draw a simple line to separate columns or just draw a colored line of
various widths to enhance my new webpage.
2. How to round out the edges of a text area, graphics or image area.
3. How about how do add shadows to the edges of an image?

Any suggestions?

1. Draw a simple line to separate columns or just draw a colored line of
various widths to enhance my new webpage.

Well you can use <hr> to insert a horizontal ruler but if you want it to have
colors I'm sure your going to need a script for that try http://www.google.com.

2. How to round out the edges of a text area, graphics or image area.
It isn't posible to round the edges of a text box.

3. How about how do add shadows to the edges of an image?
That would be a javascript, try one of the sites above for that too.

Use CSS to specify the color of your line.

Javascript can't add shadows. There are no "real" shadow effect in html,
javascript or CSS, only carefully positioned background images that
*simulate* a shadow effect.

For a simple horizontal divider, the <hr> tag works; if you want to get
more sophisticated than this, you'll need to use CSS to set margins. You
can do quite a bit with it.

http://mako4css.com/ for starters; there's a lot more tutorial material on
the Web about CSS.

You have to do these less or more with images. It's relatively easy to add
drop shadow to an image using Fireworks. For the rounded edges, Eric Meyer
has written some interesting stuff:

Do a google for [rounded edges eric meyer] for more.
