Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 is the industry-leading web development tool, enabling users to efficiently design, develop and maintain standards-based websites and applications.

Visual CSS aids help you see complex CSS layouts better than ever. that's new in Dreamweaver 8

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.

Reader Reviews
No doubt, DREAMWEAVER is in a league of its own... its unrivaled... sets the standards and unless you're a master of freehand code *essential* for designing a professional e-commerce level website (say similar to the one you're now visiting!) So why the 3 stars...? well, despite the fact that its recently been added as part of the CREATIVE SUITE upgrade (meaning lot's of former GO LIVE users will be jumping over) it comes (get this...) WITHOUT an instruction manual... which to me is a bit of an insult. Of course you can access the information by going to the HELP menu or downloading the supporting documentation online, but I hate to say this... some people like myself actually like to read and study training manuals when they're away from the computer, some even like to sit on the toilet and read, even read on planes and lavish a few moments of their life NOT staring into a computer screen (*and this is coming from a bonified net addict!) Being told "Just go to our website and print it out..." is a bit arrogant - - especially considering that the features in DREAMWEAVER go well beyond any of the other programs out there and do require study if you really want to master the program. - - I'm confused, is the aim to save the rainforest, or make an extra buck? I wonder how many people reading this wouldn't mind paying the extra money for a printed manual (which a member of the advisory team has actually made and is also selling on AMAZON) ??? - - Maybe I'm just whining and complaining... maybe people who've already been using the product don't need one anyway... but I wonder if I'm the only person who is very upset about this ???
