Using Dreamweaver
Using Dreamweaver - Features
- Best of both worlds - Combines a top class WYSIWYG HTML authoring
tool with an integrated HTML text editor. Make a change in one of these windows
and that change is immediately effected in the other.
- Dynamic Editing - The Properties Inspector toolbar shows only
options for the selected page item. Click on a table or form or page background
and the properties inspector adjusts its options accordingly.
- Dynamic HTML - Dreamweaver was the first authoring tool with
integrated support for DHTML. It also supports multiple browser exporting and
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
- HTML code sanctity - Dreamweaver does not interfere with the web
authors code when importing a page authored in another application.
- Intuitive use - Dreamweaver facilitates previously tedious code
procedures (such as merging cells in a table) with a few clicks of the mouse.
- Good Text Editor - Dreamweaver includes Allaire’s acclaimed
Home Site editing tool.
- Drag and Drop - Images, links to other pages, forms, tables and plug
ins can all be dragged and dropped from context-sensitive menus.
- Template-driven Web Sites - Template pages faciliate the reuse of
design features, allowing you to mark off editable and non-editable regions.
- Site Management - A solid site management module allows global
"search and replace" as well as site-wide change, for example if you
change the name of a file, the links on other pages also update.
Dreamweaver is certainly one to download and try out. Beginner web designers
may be over-awed by the amount and complexity of floating toolbars, an
unavoidable evil for such a powerful tool.
