Differences Between Dreamweaver CS4 and Dreamweaver CS3
Category: Tutorials | 1,336 views | 1 Comment |
Dreamweaver CS3 for Windows brought in the idea of different program layouts depending upon what type of Web designer or developer you were. Dreamweaver CS4 takes that to a new level. There are 8 default layouts including: App Developer, App Developer Plus, Classic, Coder, Coder Plus, Designer, Designer Compact, and Dual Screen. And if that’s not enough, you can now define your own, or simply modify an existing one to match exactly what you need it to do. And it no longer matters if you’re on a Mac or not - these features are in both Windows and Macintosh versions of Dreamweaver CS4.
Live View of Your Pages:
If you’ve ever tried to edit a dynamic or data-driven site in Dreamweaver, you know how frustrating that can be. Just hitting the preview button forces you to publish to your “testing server”, which for many of us is our live site. But now, Dreamweaver CS4 can preview pages in “live mode” with interactivity and dynamic elements included. It can even load data sources so you can see how those will impact the page. Plus, you can move through JavaScript scripts and stop the script just where you need to work on a design element, giving you much more control over over the design and interactivity as a whole.
