I was running through the last few posts to see if anyone had mentioned this product ... >Have you checked out DreamWeaver from Macromedia? [www.macromedia.com] > >If a knowledgable person builds the page templates, DreamWeaver will respect the >original code when it is used to make updates. In fact, they call it 'round trip >html', and it's one of the selling points of the product. Yup, and it works with HTML 4.0, is easy to generate valid code, and gives the WYSIWYG and under the hood views of the same HTML without putting in ugly proprietary tags. Very nice to see something which only writes what you input for a change. >There is a 30 day trial version available on the Web, if anyone wants an easy way to >check it out. www.dreamweaver.com or www.macromedia.com/dreamweaver are the URLS. >They also have - and apparently read - a wish list at that site that >people can provide input to. If a number of people asked them about accessibility >features, it wouldn't hurt... They do listen too, if enough noise is made. ActuallY I think the feature set for DW 2.0 (its 1.2 at present) includes a whole bunch of support for accessibility options incl plugin integrations, better support for ALT and descriptions etc and _I think_ some tutorial support for designing more flexible web pages eg for text only, voice navigation. Baden BTW, I do not work for macromedia.
