Design-Time style sheets allow you to show
or hide design applied by a CSS style sheet as you work in a Dreamweaver document. For example, you can
use this option to include or exclude the effect of a Macintosh-only
or a Windows-only style sheet as you design a page.
Design-Time
style sheets only apply while you are working in the document; when
the page is displayed in a browser window, only the styles that
are actually attached to or embedded in the document appear in a
browser.
Note: You can also enable or disable styles for an entire
page using the Style Rendering toolbar. To display the toolbar,
select View > Toolbars > Style Rendering. The
Toggle Displaying of CSS Styles button (the right-most button) works
independently of the other media buttons on the toolbar.
To
use a Design-time style sheet, follow these steps.
- Open the Design-Time Style Sheets dialog box by
doing one of the following:
Right-click in the CSS Styles panel, and
in the context menu select Design-time.
Select Format > CSS Styles >
Design-time.
- In the dialog box, set options to show or hide a selected
style sheet:
To display a CSS style sheet at design-time,
click the Plus (+) button above Show Only At Design Time, then in
the Select a Style Sheet dialog box, browse to the CSS style sheet
you want to show.
To hide a CSS style sheet, click the Plus (+) button
above Hide At Design-Time, then in the Select a Style Sheet dialog
box, browse to the CSS style sheet you want to show.
To remove a style sheet from either list, click
the style sheet you want to remove, then click the appropriate Minus
(–) button.
- Click OK to close the dialog box.
The CSS Styles panel updates with the selected style sheet’s
name along with an indicator, “hidden” or “design,” to reflect the
style sheet’s status.
