Design the CSS Style Sheet in Dreamweaver CS4

Now it is time to specify the styles for your header div tag.

• In the screen that opens. Select ‘Background’. Browse the header background image.
  
• Select ‘Box’. For the Width, type ’100′ and select ‘%’ from the drop down. For the Height type ’94′ and select ‘px’ from the drop down. Click ok.
  
• You will come back to the ‘Insert Div tag’ screen. Click OK.
• In your template page you will see the ‘header’ div displayed with the background image and the height/width specified in the css style sheet.
  

You will see that there is a white margin around the ‘header’ div. This is because html pages have a default margin/ padding. To remove this we will give new properties to the ‘body’ tag within the css stylesheet. To do this:

• Bring up the ‘CSS Styles’ panel [Window > CSS Styles]
• Click the ‘New CSS Rule’ icon at the bottom.
  
• Choose the following:
  - Selector type: Tag
  - Selector Name: body
  - Rule Definition: styles.css
  Click OK
  
• In the CSS Rule Definition screen that opens, select Box and type ’0′ for both Padding and Margin. Click OK.
