    Device Central CS4 software, through direct communication and interaction
    across the product line.

    Navigator features to find specific CSS rules.

    hints for faster and cleaner coding in HTML; JavaScript; Ajax frameworks
    such as Spry, jQuery, and Prototype; and several server languages.



  • Support for leading technologies
    Design and code in
    a tool that supports most of the leading web development technologies,
    including HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript, Ajax, PHP, Adobe ColdFusion
    software, and ASP.



  • FLV support
    Integrate FLV files into any web page
    with point-and-click ease and standards-compliant coding. Design with your
    FLV movies playing in the new Live View.



  • Learning resources
    Master web building with the
    comprehensive in-product tutorials in Dreamweaver CS4. Keep current with the
    latest web technologies through the community-driven help system.



  • Extended Dreamweaver community
    Reap the benefits of
    the extensive Dreamweaver community, including the online Adobe Design
    Center and Adobe Developer Connection, training and seminars, developer
    certification programs, and user forums.



  • Cross-platform support
    Work the way you want to
    work: Dreamweaver CS4 is available for Intel or PowerPC based Macs as well
    as Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista systems. Design in your preferred
    system, and deliver across platforms.



  • Advanced JavaScript functionality
    Put the extended
    coding functionality of Dreamweaver CS4 to work by incorporating popular
    JavaScript frameworks, including jQuery, Prototype, and Spry. Simply attach
    the appropriate JavaScript external files, and Dreamweaver automatically
    displays code hints.


NEW FEATURES:



  • Live View
    Design your web pages under real-world
    browser conditions with the new Live View in Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 -- while
    still retaining direct access to the code. Changes to the code are instantly
    reflected in the rendered display.



  • Related Files and Code Navigator
    Dreamweaver CS4
    introduces two new features that will help you more efficiently manage the
    various files that make up the modern web page. The Related Files feature
    displays all the documents associated with your current page--whether CSS,
    JavaScript, PHP or XML--in a bar along the top of your primary document.
    Click any related file to edit its source in Code View while viewing the
    parent page in Design View. Changes made to the related file code are
    immediately reflected in Design View.



  • CSS best practices
    Implement CSS best practices
    without writing code. The new CSS tab in the Properties panel shows the
    styles for the current selection as well as all the applicable CSS rules.
    Hover over any property to view a tool tip with no-jargon English
    explanations of CSS principles. New CSS rules can be created and applied in
    the Properties panel and stored in the same document or an external style
    sheet. Dreamweaver CS4 even gives you control over the specificity of your
    rule: Just click Less Specific or More Specific in the updated New CSS Rule
    dialog box to target your style precisely.



  • Code hinting for Ajax and JavaScript frameworks

    Write JavaScript more quickly and accurately with improved support for
    JavaScript core objects and primitive data types. Advanced code-hinting
    functionality helps you power through your code, whether you're adding
    functions to defined primitive data types (including Object, Array, Number,
    RegExp, or String) or DOM objects such as Window, Screen, Document, or
    Event. Dreamweaver CS4 also extends code-hinting muscle to your most
    advanced custom functions with support for parameters, class constructors,
    and nested objects, updated in real time as you modify your related
    JavaScript files.



  • Adobe InContext Editing
    Design your pages in
    Dreamweaver so end users can edit their web pages without help from you or
    additional software using the Adobe InContext Editing online service. As a
    Dreamweaver designer, you can limit changes to specific pages, distinct
    regions, and even custom formatting options.



  • New user interface
    Work faster and smarter across
    Dreamweaver CS4 and other components of Creative Suite 4, thanks to a new
    level of integration and common user-interface elements. A common interface
    means a more natural process as you move from Photoshop or Fireworks to
    Flash to Dreamweaver. Stack or minimize your docked panels to maximize your
    visual or coding environment; click once to pull out a panel and expose
    desired properties, and then click again to put it away. Work in new Split
    Code View to display your code in two different sections simultaneously, or
    choose the new Horizontal Split View option for a different perspective.
    Quickly move from one layout organization to another with the Workspace
    pull-down list.



  • HTML data sets
    The lure of dynamic data is strong,
    but learning to use databases or XML can be daunting. Dreamweaver CS4
    combines accessibility with ease of use in the new HTML data sets feature.
    With HTML data sets functionality, you create your data in a standard HTML
    table, a series of div tags, or even an unordered list, and then choose
    Insert > Spry > Spry Data Set to integrate that data into a dynamic table on
    the page, complete with sortable columns, a master-detail layout, or other
    sophisticated displays. It's easier than ever, with real-time previews of
    your data--both for selection and results. Spry Data Set also works with XML
    files to render information from RSS feeds and other sources.



  • Adobe Photoshop Smart Objects
    Integration between
    Photoshop and Dreamweaver has evolved to the next level of compatibility and
    functionality. Simply drag and drop a Photoshop PSD file into a Dreamweaver
    CS4 page to create an image Smart Object. Unlike standard web-page graphics,
    a Smart Object is tightly linked to its source file. A small indicator on
    the Smart Object in Dreamweaver CS4 shows when the source and instance are
    in sync. When you make any changes to the source image, Dreamweaver notes
    that the files are out of sync; just click the Update from Original icon in
    the Properties panel to immediately update your image without opening
    Photoshop.



  • Subversion integration
    When a collaborative project
    requires a team of designers and developers, open-source Subversion software
    is often used to handle version control. Dreamweaver CS4 integrates
    Subversion for a more robust check-in/check-out experience with file
    versioning, rollback, and more. Once you've defined Subversion as your
    version-control system, you can update your site to get the latest versions
    of its pages. Modified pages can be checked into a Subversion repository
    directly from within Dreamweaver--no third-party utility or command line
    interface is required. Dreamweaver can also revert checked-out files or mark
    conflicts as resolved to complete the team site-building experience.



  • Adobe AIR authoring support
    Create multi-platform
    desktop applications from your Dreamweaver HTML and JavaScript sites with
    new Adobe AIR authoring support. Download and install the latest version of
    the Adobe AIR Extension for Dreamweaver to begin creating engaging, branded
    applications that run on all major desktop operating systems using your
    existing web development resources with Adobe AIR. For a streamlined
    workflow, you can repurpose your existing assets into Adobe AIR desktop
    applications without leaving Dreamweaver. Preview your Adobe AIR
    applications within Dreamweaver CS4 to make sure everything is working as
    designed.
