I am new to Dreamweaver and I am building a site for class. I created a template for my pages using a table. This is in HTML I would like to add a drop shadow effect to the table to make it appear slightly raised from the background. Is there any way to do this within Dreamweaver? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Don't use tables! Only use them when making forums and such...

From what you said, if I understand correctly you are using a template, If I were you I would avoid using templates. They can cause problems. I know because I used them when I did not know very much about web design when I first started.

Thanks for the info. I mentioned I was new to all of this. Where exactly do I place the code?

You can do drop shadows using images. I think you can also do it with offset divs if you Google for a tutorial.

Put the "The CSS" code in the <head> part of your document, and put "The HTML" code in the <body> part of your document.

Hope this helps!
