MX also helps you build powerful interactive elements, such as database query and result pages, which let customers search for specific products.Consider it if youre a code-savvy developer looking to hook in your Web site to server-side databases.Macromedia Dreamweaver MX now caters specifically to professional Web designers and developers.
Dreamweavers new integration with UltraDev lets you create dynamic, database-driven Web applications. In addition, Dreamweavers thorough ColdFusion, ASP, and JSP support gives it a slight edge over our former favorite, Adobe GoLive. We recommend Dreamweaver for building a heavy-duty commercial Web site, but casual Web builders should try Microsoft FrontPage instead. For starters, after you choose the interface, you then decide between three work modes: Code View; Design View, which is WYSIWYG; and Split-screen View, which shows both views at once. In each mode, the top of the screen holds the Insert toolbar, with a dozen tabs, such as Layout, Text, Tables, and Frames, and the shortcut-button toolbar.

From HomeSite, Dreamweaver borrows effort-saving editing tools such as Code Hints, the Snippets Panel, and Tag Choosers, each of which speeds up the coding process. As you enter code, pop-up Code Hints suggest various tags or attributes. The Snippets Panel lets you save frequently used bits of code, so you neednt retype them repeatedly. And Dreamweavers ColdFusion integration lets you build powerful Internet applications and make your Web site exchange information with a server-side database. This comes in handy if you run, for instance, an online store that processes forms or takes shopping orders.
