Overview: Dreamweaver

HTML: Dreamweaver allows you to design web pages without knowing HTML. Dreamweaver enters the HTML codes while you

interact with an intuitive, straightforward environment.

Java Scripts and Java Applets Scripts and Java applets embedded in web pages

provide more powerful interactive features. Dreamweaver generates some applets and scripts

automatically.

Dreamweaver allows you publish and test a web right on your PC.

Tables

Nearly every site on the WWW includes tables. They are an indispensable element that allows you to arrange your text on each page with a logical flow.

Special Effects

Dreamweaver allows you to create a variety of special effects. These include scrolling marquees, text animations, fancy page transitions, hover buttons, banner ads, and using audio and video files.

Some of these effects, such as hover buttons and banners, use Java applets. Others, such as text animations and page transitions, are powered by Dynamic HTML.

Not all browsers will be able to display all effects.
