Adobe Dreamweaver is a web design and development application that provides a visual WYSIWYG editor
(colloquially referred to as the Design view) and a code editor with stand ard features such as syntax
highlighting, code completion, and code collapsing as well as more sophisticated features such as real-time
syntax checking and code introspection for generating code hints to assist the user in writing code.[4] The
Design view facilitates rapid layout design and code generation as it allows users to quickly create and
manipulate the layout of HTML elements. Dreamweaver features an integrated browser for previewing
developed webpages in the program's own preview pane in addition to allowing content to be open in locally
installed web browsers. It provides transfer and synchronization features, the ability to find and replace
lines of text or code by search terms or regular expressions across the entire site, and a templating featu re
that allows single-source update of shared code and layout across entire sites without server-side includes
or scripting. The behaviors panel also enables use of basic JavaScript without any coding knowledge, and
integration with Adobe's Spry Ajax framework offers easy access to dynamically-generated content and
interfaces.
Dreamweaver can use third-party "Extensions" to extend core functionality of the application, which any
web developer can write (largely in HTML and JavaScript). Dreamweaver is supported by a large
community of extension developers who make extensions available (both commercial and free) for most
web development tasks from simple rollover effects to full-featured shopping carts.
Dreamweaver, like other HTML editors, edits files locally then uploads them to the remote web server using
FTP, SFTP, or WebDAV. Dreamweaver CS4 now supports the Subversion (SVN) version control system.
