check these Dreamweaver 4 techniques

---

Dreamweaver 4 has managed to build on its reputation as an authoring tool for real designers, testimony to the fact that Macromedia has listened to its users.


With each upgrade there have been opportunities to bolt on bells and whistles that we could easily live without. While other packages bundle in Java applets, proprietary server-side code modules and browser-specific frills, Dreamweaver has stayed ahead of the pack by holding back. It has stayed at the cutting edge by selectively supporting the most robust protocols and standards.


In the latest version, this is amply illustrated with the introduction of layout tables. Savvy Web designers stick to what they know will work, and tables work for layouts. While Dreamweaver has supported more sophisticated positioning techniques since day one, it's now the only program to acknowledge that sometimes the tried and tested ways are the best ways.


The program's customisation capabilities and integration features are important too, but the most important aspect of any creative tool is how intuitive it is to use. Once you've followed our use of the newest features in this walkthrough, Dreamweaver 4 will have you building sites on autopilot.
