Dreamweaver
MX 2004 delivers powerful, standards-based controls to ensure high
quality design. A design environment built around Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS) enables faster and more efficient development of clean-coded,
professional sites.
Use a world-class design and code editor in one tool.
Dive right into source code, manipulate pixel-perfect designs in Design
view, or do a little of both. With a customizable user interface, you
can work the way you need to.
Build sophisticated, standards-based sites with rich CSS
support. Design and render intricate CSS-based layouts and
designs more easily and precisely that ever before. Save time with rich
tools that allow for quick selection and control of page and site wide
style properties.
Improve end-user experience with a dynamic
cross-browser validation feature that automatically checks tags and CSS
rules for compatibility across all the leading browsers.
Save time with a built-in graphics editor. Crop,
resize, and make minor edits without leaving Dreamweaver by using
built-in Macromedia Fireworks technology.
Create better user interfaces without constant
browser checks with a Live Data View that allows applications developers
to see live server-side data while in design mode.
Powerful and open integration
Dreamweaver MX 2004 is open and extensible with the products and
technologies you use, giving you the freedom and flexibility to choose
the technology that works best for you – today, and in the future.
Use one integrated development environment to
develop HTML, XHTML, XML, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, PHP, and Macromedia
ColdFusion websites. Customize and extend the development environment
with more than 800 free extensions available through the Macromedia
Exchange for Dreamweaver.
Leverage Secure FTP to fully encrypt all file
transfers and prevent unauthorized access to your data, file contents,
usernames, and passwords.
Seamlessly integrate external files and code. Copy
and paste from Microsoft Word and Excel documents directly into
Dreamweaver while preserving fonts, colors, and CSS styles. Leverage
full Unicode support to use, render, and save any font and encoding
supported by the operating system, including double-byte character sets.
Enhance productivity with tighter integration with
Macromedia Flash, Fireworks, and other design and development tools in
the Macromedia Studio MX 2004 suite.
Create accessible websites to comply with U.S. law
and international standards, using compliance-checking features for
pages and sites, in-product reference content, and an active authoring
mode for accessibility.

process that speeds up file downloads and replacements.
Code more efficiently with time-saving enhancements
like right click coding tools, revamped find and replace, and a Property
inspector that enables quick, comprehensive property editing.
Find things faster with an improved user interface
that maximizes the usable workspace, shows context and focus more
clearly, and is highly approachable and logical. A new start screen
provides quick access to recently used files and tutorial resources.

professional-quality, pre-built layouts and code, including site
structures, forms, accessible templates, and JavaScript functions for
