Page Properties

Change various page properties by selecting File|Properties from the menu bar. The Page Properties window will allow you to change many general properties, the page background, margins, and more.

[Page Properties window]

bulletGeneral - Under the General tab, one property that needs to be changed is the Title. This is the text that will appear across the top of the screen above the browser's menu bar when the page is viewed on the web. Background sounds are not recommended and design-time control scripting options do not need to be changed.

bulletBackground -

Check the Background picture box and select an image by clicking the Browse... button to add a repeating graphic to the background of the page.

Enable hyperlink rollover effects adds a Cascading Style Sheet to the page that causes the appearance of text links to change when the mouse is placed over them. These effects are not visible in Netscape version 4 and lower.

Set the Background colour and a default Text colour if it is not black.

Hyperlink colours can be changed as well. The colour set for Hyperlink will be the colour of the text of a link that has not been viewed yet by the web site user. Visited hyperlink is the colour the link will turn after the page has been visited. Active hyperlink is the colour of the link as it is being pressed. This colour is usually barely seen as the user quickly clicks the link. The default colours that web users are used to are blue for normal and purple for visited. Refrain from swapping these colours so users will not be confused!
bulletMargins - Set the top and left margin width by pixels if necessary. It is not necessary to alter any of the properties on the remaining tabs.
