I'll be presenting Dreamweaver Killer Tips at this year's Macromedia MAX conference being held in New Orleans from November 1-4.
It's best to register early for MAX because you have to choose your schedule in advance and sessions do fill up quickly. Last year I gave the session only three times, and it was full for all but the final presentation (but I think it was not quite filled because it was last session in its track of the last day). So this year, they're having me do the session four times!
I won't be giving the exact same presentation, though a few tips are too cool that I will have to include them even though I did them last year. Not all tips are in the book either, so Killer Tips fanatics can walk away with something new too.
What kind of tips do you want to see? Let me know by leaving a comment. Hurry though, I have deadlines to meet that are coming up really really fast. (Macromedia doesn't mess around; they have all sorts of deadlines for presenters months in advance of the conference. It's very well organized.)
I mean it; let me know what kind of tips you want...ColdFusion, CSS, WorkFlow, etc. ? Click the link* to leave a comment already...c'mon, you know you want to... Do it frenchy!

happy belated birthday, regardless
Well whoever you are, you were right. I'd neglected to encode the ampersands in the some URLs... such a horrible offense that one was. I forgot to add an alt attribute to the Macromedia affiliate ad image too. Other than that, it was a bunch of encoded characters that weren't recognized within blog comments. (My guess is someone wrote the comment in Word then pasted to the form.) Dreamweaver also converted some onclick events to onClick in my navigation include file -- Dreamweaver bug which I was aware of but always forget to fix.
In any case they were all silly little mistakes, and if I had a transitional doctype it probably would have passed (except for maybe the blog comments). It only took a couple minutes to fix. Whoever you are, thanks for pointing it out to me. You didn't need to hide your identity either. I wouldn't have been offended.
I know there's a chance that the pages won't validate due to comments in posts or a lack of an encoded ampersand in a URL (which I have to say is a really stupid rule). I just need to be better about checking regularly. Thanks for the reminder...

Angela, I need your expertise. Where can I find a bunch of cool CSS styles for formatting HTML tables? Google doesn't return much. I am design challenged and need to see a couple of cool CSS sheets for tables so that I may choose the one I like best. Thanks in advance!
I did a quick Google with no luck too. There's a CSS properties that isn't too widely known that I use often, border-collapse. Lately I've been adding double borders to the top and bottom of tables, as seen here:
http://www.cartweaver.com/contact/.
Adding rounded corners to tables for Mozilla browsers is fun too. If you only do a few pixels radius it can look pretty cool. The greater the radius, the more pixelated it starts to look.
Using caption, tbody, theader, and tfooter tags provide more structure and hence the ability to add more styling. There's quite a bit that can be done to style tables, but browser support is limitted.
Thanks for the question. I'll see what cool tips on CSS and tables I can pull together for the presentation. ~Angela
