Certification - FWIW, I passed the Dreamweaver MX certification at DevCon 2002 yesterday. That makes the second certification. I think I have to do the ColdFusion MX exam next. Are you Certified 9:43:19 AM      comment []

Vertical spacing between images - You can always learn something new about your product and the Web and that goes DOUBLE for issues dealing with the DOCTYPE. There is an issue with Dreamweaver when you insert two images and put a <BR> between them. In all the browsers and the older versions of Dreamweaver, these images abutted one another and in Dreamwaver MX they do not. Interestingly, I was convinced this was a bug, however it is not. There is a good technote on the subject and a superb article at Netscape. The gist is that all inline elements should leave space below them. The IMG tag is an inline element so you get the space. The solutions detailed in the Netscape article are to use a style to convert images and table cells to block elements. td img {display: block;} Or you can set the DOCTYPE to transitional. In Dreamweaver MX though at authoring time, we use a strict DOCTYPE and that is what does it. Unfortunately there is not much you can do to change that at authoring time. 9:37:55 AM      comment []
