Don’t wait until you have text or graphics on the page to save—save your pages as soon as

you open new documents. Provided that your ﬁle is saved ﬁrst, when you import graphics

or other media, all the paths that reference where those elements are located in your site will

be made properly. If you don’t save your document, a path name beginning with ﬁle:// is

used that describes the location of the element you are inserting relative to your hard disk.

If you try to insert an object without ﬁrst saving the document, Dreamweaver warns you

that it needs to use a ﬁle:// path name for the element. These ﬁle:// paths do not work on

remote servers because they describe the location of ﬁles speciﬁc to your computer.

You can use the keyboard commands Cmd+S (Macintosh) or Ctrl+S (Windows)

to save your document. Always remember to save often so you won’t lose a lot of

work if your computer crashes for any reason.

Macintosh Users: Dreamweaver automatically adds the extension .html to the ﬁlename

of HTML documents in the File Name text ﬁeld—you must leave this extension or specify

a different one for the document to be saved with an extension.

Windows Users: Dreamweaver automatically adds the extension .html to the ﬁlename,

of HTML documents, when you save if the extension isn’t speciﬁed in the File Name text

ﬁeld. You can also specify the extension yourself.

Dreamweaver adds the default extension of any ﬁle you create. For example,

if you create a Cascading Style Sheet ﬁle, Dreamweaver will add .css to the ﬁlename.

You should always save your documents with the extension .html. If Dreamweaver is

giving you a default of .htm, you can change the default by choosing Dreamweaver >

Preferences (Macintosh) or Edit > Preferences (Windows) and selecting the New Document

category. The default extension is displayed in a text box. Throughout this book, the

extension .html is used in the examples and materials included on the CD-ROM, and the

exercises assume that you will be using the default extension.

The .htm extension is a remnant from the bad old days when Windows could

only handle 3 character ﬁle extensions. Unless you think that someone with

Windows 3.1 is going to be working on this site, there’s no reason to ever use the

.htm extension as it’s generally considered to be unprofessional.
