Accessing Page Content in the Menu Pages

The files for this project were created using
DREAMWEAVER FOUNDATIONS format parts or sections of a page.
Clicking once selects the entire div that contains the menu content:
divs (using the opening and closing <div>
tags), which are simply a way to identify and

(You will work with divs in Project 4:
Museum CSS Layout.) Although you don’t
need to worry about the underlying page
structure for now, you might see some
unusual behavior when you try to select
content in the main section the menu pages
when the Live view is not active.

The area that holds the actual menu content
has a fixed height, but both menus have
more content than will fit into the defined
size. When the page is viewed in a browser,
the area includes a scroll bar for users to
access the content that doesn’t fit. Then double-clicking jumps the page down to show the overflow content:

In Dreamweaver’s regular Design view,
however, this scrollbar doesn’t appear.
Instead, the first time you click, the entire div
is selected and all of the contained text is
highlighted.
Double-clicking inside the area again causes
the page to jump down, showing the
overflow content.

If you click a third time, you can place the
insertion point inside the actual text, scroll You can then click again to place the insertion point and select specific text:
up as necessary, and then select the link text
at the top of the area.
