Hello everyone! A common problem for Vista users with Dreamweaver MX is the “Insert>Tables” function; it simply will not work. I have already posted two articles on this issue providing some fixes for the issue. In the first article, I show how to make the “Insert Table” function actually do something and that is insert a table. The only problem with THIS fix is that it doesn’t allow you to change the specs before the table is inserted into your Document. The second fix is a tip given by a user, and another tip given by me which has worked for a decent ammount of people, but not all (for some it only worked temporarily, then the problem occured again.) In this tutorial, I will be giving a new fix which will make the “Insert Tables” function work like a charm.
Recently, I have posted the article “Dreamweaver MX and Vista: Inserting Tables Fix” which has become one of the most popular recent posts I’ve written thus far. This post shows how to get the Insert>Tables function in Dreamweaver MX to work in Vista – specifically Vista Premium (but should work with other versions.) This has been a huge help to readers across the globe and I am thankful that I have been able to help so many people.

CSS is such a useful tool in designing your website and adding some functionality to it.

It’s really quite easy: instead of applying effects to a piece of text – apply effects to a table cell! In this tutorial you will learn effects regaurding: hovering cell background effects, text effects, button effects, and more!
If you’ve upgraded to Windows Vista and have installed your old Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, you are bound to run into some compatibility issues. For many web designers, using tables is a huge asset for designing a web page. Though you can do many of the same things using <div>, tables is fairly easy to use.

Quite simpley, it shows that a given website is built with the quality and precision needed to be compatible with any given web browser. In this case, it shows that FunkyTower takes the time to make sure that you get a quality product.
When we say FunkyTower is based on a firm belief in quality for the price, we mean it. It is our belief that if any web designer does not have these two icons on their website, they are not fit to serve you as professionals. The same qualifies for FunkyTower: we will not claim to provide quality for you if we can't even provide the same perfection for ourself.
