New Features in Dreamweaver 8

Macromedia Dreamweaver version 8 makes creating standards complaint Websites easier than ever.

Dreamweaver 8’s new integrated CSS panel makes editing CSS and seeing its affect on your page layout a breeze. Also included in this version of Dreamweaver is new support for CSS media types, allowing you to view your CSS based document in the same way as the end user will see it, whether it is on screen, on the printed page, or on a hand-held device.

CSS rendering in Dreamweaver 8 has also been improved to better match the rendering used in most current Web browsers, giving a realistic impression of the way a Website will appear in the major browsers.

New features in Dreamweaver 8 can save time and increase productivity. Code folding allows you to 'collapse' sections of code while not working on them, giving you the option of focusing only on the code you are editing. Dreamweaver 8 also makes it easier to clean up code that has been generated by Microsoft Word and other applications, ensuring clean, semantic code.
