CSS possible in layers in dreamweaver MX?
Hello Experts,
I am working on PC, Wiindows XP, Dreamweaver MX.
My question is:
Is it possible to apply a css style to text that is inside a "layer" in dreamweaver?
If so, how would I do that? (I know its probably a nub question, but im just starting out in web design.)
Below is a link to an example of what im working on.
Thanks Guys!

Hello and thank you for the quick response.
My apologize, what I meant to ask was, how do you make a "paragraph style" in css?
(i.e.: like in the sample in the link provided.. how would i make it so that the first line in each paragraph is all 1 point size bigger and bolded, in every listing?
Thank you.

You would need to do something like the below using the span tag:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.firstline {
font-size: 13pt;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><span class="firstline">This is a test</span><br />
of how to bold and enlarge the first line </p>
</body>
</html>
What I did was to create a class (.firstline) in my stylesheet. I then highlighted the first line of text in the sample and right-clicked and chose CSS Styles, then firstline. DW applied the span tag for me.

Oh, i think i get it. So, where exactly would i put this code in the html?
Thanks
Thanks
Look at my example above to see where things go...
Styles go in the head section, calls to styles in the body.

Hello Experts.
It seems that I had phrased my question incorrectly for what I was actually trying to do
What I am actually trying to figure out is how to create an external style sheet in dreamweaver MX
Thank you

Yes. You can either specify the text styles in the layer definition or create a class and apply it directly to the object containing the text (paragraph).
Just use the CSS panel and it should be pretty simple.
