Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 is the industry-leading web development tool, enabling
users to efficiently design, develop and maintain standards-based websites and
applications. A world-class design and code editor in a single tool, Dreamweaver
8 is designed for the most advanced web developers, as well as for the less
experienced. Dreamweaver supports and guides users as their skills grow and
web technologies evolve, facilitating easy and quick adoption of new
technologies and methodologies. You don't need to be an advanced developer to
take advantage of the many industry-leading features of Dreamweaver 8. Adding
Flash Video, for instance, is a cinch. In fact, you can add Flash Video to any
site with fewer than five clicks of a mouse. Simply point Dreamweaver to any
Flash Video file, select the playback controls to surface on the page, and get
rolling.
The unified CSS panel provides a powerful and easy way to understand the
cascade of styles applied to content, as well as quick access to making changes
without having to navigate a lot of code through trial and error. Working with
XML is also simplified considerably. And with access to over three million
Dreamweaver developers, the Dreamweaver community can provide you with
invaluable benefits, including the Macromedia Developer Center, developer
certification programs, training and seminars, user forums, and independent
community support sites. More than 800 free downloadable extensions are
available through the Macromedia Dreamweaver Exchange.
New and Enhanced Features
New features and optimized workflows reduce the time required to complete common
development tasks. Dreamweaver 8 does for XML and XSLT what Dreamweaver 1 did
for HTML. Simply point any page to an XML file or a URL of an XML feed, and
Dreamweaver will introspect it to enable dragging and dropping the appropriate
fields onto the page. From there, pop into code view to work with improved code
hinting support for XML and XSLT, and take advantage of the new XML and XSLT
reference content.
Dreamweaver 8 also takes CSS-based design to the next level. The new, unified
CSS panel makes complex CSS simple. In fact, you can learn CSS by reviewing the
consolidated view and visual representation of the cascade as it applies to
content for quick access and power. For working with CSS for content position,
the new CSS layout visualization provides design-time visual aids to quickly and
easily review page structure. The styles rendering toolbar previews how pages
work with different CSS media types.
For greater control over design, Dreamweaver 8 also lets you zoom in on
designs to de-bug complex layouts and review images. Use guides to accurately
position content on pages to improve the accuracy between comps and finished
product. And when you need to focus on a single piece of code, you can stay
focused by selectively collapsing and expanding sections of code by selection or
by tag with code collapse.
