Select table elements

You can select an entire table, row, or column at once. You can also select one or more individual cells.

When you move your pointer over a table, row, column, or cell, Dreamweaver highlights all the cells in that selection
so that you know which cells will be selected. This is useful when you have tables without borders, cells that span
multiple columns or rows, or nested tables. You can change the highlight color in preferences.

If you position the pointer over a table’s border, then hold the Control key (Windows) or Command key (Macintosh),
the entire structure of the table—that is, all cells in the table—is highlighted. This is useful when you have nested

tables and want to see the structure of one of the tables.
