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.
