Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver is a web site creation tool.
Dreamweaver supports the latest innovations on the Web such as
Dynamic Publishing, E-Commerce, XML, Dynamic HTML, and Cascading Style Sheets.
Techy Web designers will enjoy the Roundtrip HTML and Roundtrip XML features
built into the HTML/XML editor. Dreamweaver has done a very good job on building
a GUI interface to setting almost every attribute available to HTML/JavaScript
object models. Their GUI design interface with real-time look-and-feel is
awesome.
From a technical view, it looks like Dreamweaver has tried to add every
attribute that exists in an HTML object. I am very pleased with the product.
