A preliminary study of Adobe CS3 series Dreamweaver CS3

As a web design tool, Dreamweaver and golive in contrast, Dreamweaver performance seems to be more than a chip. Dreamweaver 8 has been released for two years now, and its performance has basically been able to meet the needs of the design industry.

The CSS design tool for Dreamweaver 8 is still out of reach for users who have no programming experience and design backgrounds. Dreamweaver CS3 fixes these problems, and it's easy to get started with people who don't have much programming experience, but because of the complexities of CSS and Ajax itself, the use of both technologies is by no means as simple as Web design using stale HTML.

Like fireworks, Adobe did not upgrade the Dreamweaver interface-mainly due to limited time-which led to Macromedia 8 become one of the most popular software in the joint design software of Adobe and Macromedia to make users scramble.

CSS in the CS3

Today, almost all Web sites use css--, which frees designers and developers from the ever-more complex forms and framework layouts. However, things always have two sides, as a kind of code, it is much more complicated than HTML.

In order to help some beginners to adapt to the Css,dreamweaver CS3 new document session features provide users with a series of CSS-based layouts: from templates that can add toolbars, headers, footers, to standard blank pages.

In the finished CSS code, each element can be annotated with an anti-gray descriptive statement, which also includes some common techniques that experienced programmers often hide. You can see the properties of all existing elements in the CSS panel, and now you can use the assistant to assign this CSS style to other (existing or new) style sheets.

Spry Frame

In the context of Web 2.0, the Ajax Spry framework is the core layout framework technology launched by Adobe. Ajax allows the local area of the page to be refreshed, improving the usability of the site. Spry uses a small amount of JavaScript and XML, but Adobe says the spry framework is HTML-centric, with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript basics to deploy easily. The purpose of this framework design is to mark as simple as possible, JavaScript use as little as possible. Anyone who does web design development can choose a spry framework.

In Dreamweaver CS3, Adobe has added a series of prefabricated components to help users build Ajax pages more easily and quickly. These components include data widgets, such as the XML dataset (data sets), table, Confirmation window widget (validation widgets) User Interface window widget (user interface Widgets): such as menu bar and folding Display (accordions). People who are not good at programming can modify them to make pages, and those who are novice or who are not interested in programming can integrate them into their own pages.

In addition, the software provides a library of spry effects that you can use even if you are not dealing with a data-type site in your hand. Without refreshing, these "visual gradients" enable the page to fade, shrink, stretch, and highlight the results.

and IE say goodbye

Dreamweaver's own web-test system now includes a browser compatibility detection feature designed to help you deal with special pages-Web pages with bugs, non-standard web pages, no matter what browsers you use.

Every once in a while, it automatically updates the problem library, detects the page based on this library's information, and tells the user whether Adobe has made any corrections to the issue.
