Choose the type of Reports to show when checking html pages

In the Files inspector, under site > Reports, you can easily choose which elements to check for errors or missing information. For example, if you are validating for XHTML 1.0, you can check â€œcheck for missing alt tagsâ€ in the reports section.

Then when you check, the results will spit out any missing alt tags on images in your web page.

Shortcut for Closing all open DW windows

How do I open any type of text file in Dreamweaver to edit it?

Go to Edit > Preferences.

In there are a lot of categories. You can choose File Types / Editors, and at the top of the screen you will see a form field with many extensions listed called â€œOpen in Code Viewâ€. Type in your extension here, and you can even add it at the bottom and select the primary and secondary programs to edit file with that type of extension.
