Notes

Notes Dreamweaver only retains one recorded command at a time.
z Play Recorded Command: Reapplies the most recently recorded command.
z Edit Command List: Opens a list of all saved commands. You can rename the commands
or delete them permanently.
z Get More Commands: Opens the Macromedia Exchange for Dreamweaver Web site in a
new browser window so that you can search for and download new extensions or
commands. Extensions are downloaded to your Extension Manager.

z Manage Extensions: Opens the Extension Manager, a program that lets you manage
extensions you download from the Macromedia Exchange Web site. The Extension Manager
helps you install, delete, and selectively disable extensions.

z Apply Source Formatting: Changes you make to Dreamweaver’s HTML source formatting
(which is defined in the Preferences window and the SourceFormat.txt file) apply only to
newly created documents. This command, on the other hand, offers a way to apply these
formatting preferences to existing HTML documents.

z Apply Source Formatting to Selection: Same as the previous command, “Apply Source
Formatting,” but applies only to whatever you’ve selected. In this way, you can make sure
the HTML for a <table> is nicely formatted (by selecting it and applying this command),
while the rest of your finely crafted HTML is left alone.
z Clean Up HTML/XHTML: Opens a list of options for correcting common HTML problems,
such as empty tags or redundant nested tags. Once you’ve selected what you’d like to fix,
Dreamweaver applies those changes to the current document and, if requested, provides
a log of the number and type of changes made.
z Clean Up Word HTML: If you import HTML that was generated by Microsoft Word, you
often end up with unnecessary or cluttered HTML tags that can affect your site’s
performance. This command opens a list of options that can correct formatting problems
common in Microsoft Word’s HTML. Dreamweaver applies your selected changes to the
document and, if requested, displays a log of the number and type of changes it made.
z Add/Remove Netscape Resize Fix: This command lets you insert JavaScript code into your
document that counteracts a bug in version 4 of Netscape Navigator (the bug causes pages
that use layers to display incorrectly when the browser window is resized). The inserted
code makes the page reload every time a browser window is resized.
z Remove Flash Video Detection: If you’ve added Flash Video to your page, Dreamweaver
inserts some JavaScript code used to help make sure your site’s visitors can view the
video. Unfortunately, if you just delete the movie from your page, the JavaScript code is
left in the page. This command removes it.

z Optimize Image in Fireworks: Opens the selected image in Macromedia Fireworks’
Optimization window, where you can experiment with different compression settings to
find the best balance between file size and image quality. If you used Fireworks to create
the image in the first place, you can choose to use the original Fireworks PNG file or the
selected image (GIF or JPEG file) as the source image. Dreamweaver then replaces the
selected image with the newly optimized image.
z Create Web Photo Album: Lets you turn a folder of images into a Web-based photo album.
The Create Web Photo Album window appears; specify a title for your album, the source
folder, and so on.
