Dreamweaver Concepts

Before you can begin to create individual Dreamweaver web pages, you need to create a local root site that will contain the web pages you create in Dreamweaver. This local root site on on your hard drive will mirror the actual pages on the remote web server when you publish the web site from Dreamweaver. When you are ready to publish your site you will have to copy all the folders on the local root server to the remote hosted server. To create a local root site use Site menu and then use the Site Definition wizard.

Local root site - folder of web pages stored on user's computer or file server.

Remote hosted site - folder of web pages stored on a remote computer or file server.

Publish - to export web pages from local root site to remote hosted site.

Site - Root Relative paths provide the path from the site's root folder to a document. 

Site - Root Relative paths are commonly used on large Web site that uses several servers or one server that hosts several different sites.

Absolute paths provide the complete URL (web site address) of the linked document. Absolute paths must be used to link a document on another server.

Document - Relative paths are the best choice to use for local links in most Web sites. 

Document - Relative paths define the path to take to find the linked file, starting from the document.
