Tips and Tricks in Dreamweaver

I want to gath开发者_JAVA技巧er Dreamweaver Tips and Tricks making development easy.

Mine, I recently discovered that I could asign a keyboard key in inserting code from 'code snippet'. for me it's really a time and effort saver. Since I would just press the special key and code is generated.

How about yours? What are your techniques?

Thanks!

I wouldn't touch Dreamweaver with a ten-foot pole. What exactly drives you to use Dreamweaver over a tool such as Notepad++? Most developers nowadays are comfortable with simple syntax highlighting, which Notepad++ supports right out of the box, with the addition of a built-in FTP client. You get a lot more, minus the $400 you need to pay to attain features that are available in every other IDE for free.

I have used Dreamweaver since 1.0. Whilst it used to be a great web development tool it seems to have declined and become almost irrelevant, see Dreamweaver is dying.

The real problem for Dreamweaver and for its users is that the nature of the web is changing dramatically. Dynamically-generated web applications, from Amazon right down to the humble blog, all offer much more – in-built commenting, voting, RSS feeds, etc – than the best sites built on static HTML can ever hope to provide.

I actually find that Dreamweaver now makes web development harder.

I don't have enough rep to comment or I would reply to yours, Pennf0lio. When I did web development a few years ago, I used DreamWeaver solely for the Site Manager tool. I loved knowing how easily I could move a file and not break anything that referenced it.

That said, I still used Vim to actually develop the sites.
