CSS Properties

For the most part, the Dreamweaver's CSS Rule Definition window lists CSS properties using nearly the same language as the actual property names; the color property, for example, is listed in the Type category as Color. But sometimes Dreamweaver uses very different names for CSS properties. Table B-1 shows each category of the CSS Rule Definition window, and lists the actual CSS property name and a page reference where you can learn more about the property. In addition, Appendix A contains a complete list of CSS 2.1 properties.
