A Combination Visual HTML and Code-based Text Editor
Macromedia Dreamweaver is one app designed to combine the best of both worlds by offering an advanced visual HTML editor and an integrated HTML text editor in the same package. Dreamweaver 3.0 packages one of the best HTML text editors currently available, HomeSite 4.0 (BBEdit 5.0 for Mac users), with a powerful visual editor that stacks up well against the best of its competition.
While the text editor side of the equation provides you with the flexibility and control needed to maintain Web sites of any and all sizes, the visual mode of Dreamweaver presents you with all the tools necessary to create high-powered, advanced Web sites that are both attractive and informative in nature. The visual mode also helps to make Dreamweaver one of the more graphically attractive clients in its category.
The visual editor's interface combines a quick and efficient WYSIWYG display with 3-D icons that represent more advanced tags and hidden attributes like scripts, comments, and embedded content. Dreamweaver is also a total Web solution package in that it integrates the dual Web editors with site publishing and synchronization tools. Once you create a new page or update existing ones you can automatically upload the page or pages to your Web site without having to leave the Dreamweaver interface.
