Hello all

I am working in Dreamweaver MX to put together some 'dummy' (ie. non-functional) 'forms'. I wondered if there was a way to change the physical dimensions and attributes of standard form elements such as 'submit' type buttons and jump menus, text fields (by adding a colour to the background of the text fields to 'colour code' different types of information)etc.

Also, some of the work I am doing involves simulating some Visual Basic type of software screens in HTML. Again, I would like to manipulate some of the elements in a basic VB interface. Is there a particular extension for Dreamweaver which would approximate VB elements, or even another program which can emulate this in HTML.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

You can modify the look of submit buttons, etc with stylesheets. You can substitute standard buttons with images.

Thanks Martin

I had a bit of blind spot over 'form elements' as opposed to anything else you can apply a style sheet to!

Any ideas on an extension which will give me some kind of VB element generator in Dreamweaver?
