Selecting table elements

You can select an entire table, row, or column at once. You can also select one or more
individual cells.
When you move your pointer over a table, row, column, or cell, Dreamweaver highlights all the
cells in that selection so that you know exactly which cells will be selected if you click the
selection. This is useful when you have tables without borders, cells that span multiple columns or
rows, or nested tables. You can change the highlight color in preferences.
Tip: If you position the pointer over a table's border, then hold the Control key (Windows) or
Command key (Macintosh), the entire structure of the table—that is, all cells in the table—is
highlighted. This is useful when you have nested tables and want to see the structure of one of
the tables.
To change the highlight color for selecting table elements:
Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
1
The Preferences dialog box appears.
Select Highlighting from the category list on the left.

Make either of the following changes:

To change the highlighting color for table elements, click the Mouse-over color box, then

To turn highlighting on or off for table elements, select or deselect the Show checkbox for
Mouse-over.
Note: These options affect all objects, such as layers and Layout mode view tables and cells, that
Dreamweaver highlights when you move the pointer over them.
Click OK.
