Dreamweaver :: Overview  

Dreamweaver allows you - the web author - to concentrate more on design and less on coding. Common tools and page elements are usually one click away. Dreamweaver tries as best it can to be extremely full featured while maintianing an intuitive interface.

  • WYSIWYG editor - "What You See Is What You Get."
    Design the page the way it is to look in a web browser, the HTML is behind the scenes.
    Dreamweaver goes a step beyond most web editing tools by also automating JavaScript and DHTML scripting for added interactivity.
  • Round Trip HTML
    When opening an HTML document created in another web editor, Dreamweaver will ask politely before fixing any broken tags or bad HTML.
    Dreamweaver can be configured to write the HTML exactly the way you want it (indents, tabs, capitals, etc.) for those very particular about the look of their HTML code.
  • Object Pallette
    Drag and drop many common elements into your page such as images, rollovers, form elements, meta tags and many more.
    Customize the Object Pallette with third party add-ons from companies such as RealNetworks, WebMonkey and IBM, or create your own.
  • Context Sensitive Property Inspector
    Click on an object (text, a link, a table, a column of a table, an image, etc.) and the Property Inspector displays all the attibutes for that object.
  • Context Sensitive Help
    Help Pages are available from every dialog box covering practically every feature. The Help Pages are very extensive, viewable through any web browser, and many include animated step-by-step tutorials.
