- How does Dreamweaver CS6 help me develop accessible web content?
-
Dreamweaver CS6 has many features to help you design for accessibility, including the following:
- Dreamweaver CS6 allows you to set preferences that prompt you to provide accessibility information as you're building the page. By activating options in the Preferences dialog box, you'll be prompted to provide accessibility-related information for form objects, frames, media, images, and tables as each element is inserted in a page.
- Accessible tables can easily be added, as Dreamweaver can automatically add table header cells that are correctly marked up.
