Dreamweaver 4.0 adds a function newly to be contacted completely

    MacroMedia company released Dreamweaver 4.0 on November 13, 2000, its occurrence swings the competitor of Dreamweaver at the back far, sit firmly the head of software of visible webpage editor an ancient folding chair, serve as Dreamweaver 3.0 upgrade the leap that product Dreamweaver 4.0 did not pledge, it maintained the interfacial style of Dreamweaver3.0 basically, what differ exclusively is much face plate of a few float, if not quite attentive word still believes,be Dreamweaver3.0, what Xin Dongdong does Dreamweaver4.0 have after all? Let me introduce Dreamweaver4.0 to add a function newly in detail.

One. Integrated text code editor
    The biggest discomfort of software of visible webpage editor is opposite very hard namely source code has an edition, more never mention it Javascript! Do not cross DW4 (the logogram of Dreamweaver 4.0, similarly hereinafter) will make you handle code to become unusually rel axed. The new function with this built-in text code main editor is: Indent of apply the brake (can choose indent of much advancing travel) , return what can have a sign to detect, if writing code to forget " </body> " , it will give out clew. In the tool the watch falls mediumly pull menu in can listed current wire side all define Javascript function oneself, can make you free in webpage former code jump turn, "Tool of primitive code navigation " can let professional personage handle Javascript function conveniently, javascript code is inputted in text code editor, the system will show with different color.

2. At the same time indication code edits casing and layout casing
    To enhance source code editor and visible function, can be the same as the ground at the same time in DW4, be in same a code of the editor in the window and visible design, this improved the efficiency that the webpage designs greatly. It is neverth eless in DW4 can be editor state branch two kinds, one kind is condition of source code editor, another kind is visible editor condition. These two kinds want only you are revised to was being done one kind among them, it can be mirrorred to another kind immediately. And switch need not fall in two kinds of condition. You can join these two kinds of state in a window, also can not put them in a window of course.

3.Javascript editor
    Its main function has: Function of phase program code, skip over, jump turn, the breakpoint in set and the variable that want observation. Can make your webpage OK when carry out along with all the others debug, javascript editor is attached most importance to especially to professional stylist should.

4. 內 builds O'Reilly 參 to take an examination of hand 冊
    Macromedia Danny Goodman " dynamic HTML: Authoritative reference manual " the complete HTML in the book , CSS and JavaScript reference manual embed directly in DW4, this makes handwritten code and visible editorial job become more go to the lavatory and comfortable. The reference manual that this buy enters can help the study code with primary more convenient developer or easier acquisition pertinent information. For example, development staff can be in the code of themselves Gao Liang a label, click a pushbutton, the reference material about this label - - include attribute and browser compatibility to be met show in the window of O'Reilly come. Built-in O'Reilly reference manual will be a breakthrough of DW4.

5. The editor is not HTML file
    Built-in text editor, besides can edit Html, it still can edit Html of a few blame, for instance JavaScript, XML or other any simple text, can edit directly below condition of former code editor.

6. Exceed function of strong page composing
    The composing of webpage object has two kinds of kind commonly: Form, graph layer, these two kinds of methods have actor drawback each, the Layout View technology of DW4 rises both advantage union easily, everybody can put a person's mind to use, with the webpage that this function writes, any browsers are compatible, see your trouble back at home. Way of two kinds of visible editors was offerred in DW4, one is the old printed sheet that all of us also been beening familiar with, another is brand-new layout composing means. It put forward brand-new page composing concept, it can make you relaxed ground daggle gives complex transparent form (in DW3 this is very difficult) , and do not have redundant code absolutely, this is the consistent style of MacroMedia.

Character of 7.Macromedia Flash and press 鈕
    Flash animation all along lets a person of take delight in talking about is a file small, effect club, and can do not lack fidelity shrinking to put as window size, these want Gui Gongwu to use the good point that vector pursues. This new function of use DW4, it is OK also to calculate you to won't use Flash the written language that inserts Flash animation format directly in DW or pushbutton, it is OK to should input a character simply only, compared with character of traditional latticedot matrix graph or pushbutton, file smaller, effect is more beautiful. Nevertheless very regrettablly is, at present Flash character and pushbutton still do not support Chinese, I believe this problem is in before long can get settlement in the future, macromedia can abandon this Chinese huge market how.

8. Two-way plot edits
    After everybody knows to break up a graph to save in Firework, can use DW " insert Firework Html " object general graph, html, javaScript is inserted along with all the others, further, the form that chooses Firework in DW presses editor, can start Firework immediately and open former Png file editor, this is very convenient, but what DW4 combines Firework and Dreamweaver is more close together, the picture edits to need not be saved in Firework, need to be pressed only " Return Dreamweaver " pushbutton, OK immediately switch goes in DW, and all modification had been saved, also can be of course in DW conveniently switch arrives Firework.

9. 資 source control
    Make a website often can use many document, often feel easy to lose promiscuous how to know to manage? New resource management face plate rose the content of whole website centrally, can be previewed and manage all figures, color, exterior URL, script, flash, shockwave, quicktime, css. If set a certain target,be " Favorite " (love most) , then you can cross a website to use these targets.

10. Integrated SourceSafe and WebDAV
    DW4 is integrated now know clearly Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, this is an advanc ed version control software, the standard that develop a group largely to be able to regard Html as to carry DW so develops a tool, in addition, the website window of DW4 also can manage system or network server collocation with the content that supports WebDAV agreement. WebDAV is the standard that W3c establishs, windows IIS 5 or Apache support this level.

11. Website report
    Website report can help you find out the general and common problem in the webpage, let your fast correction. For example: OK and a few more amalgamative the <font> label of nest, empty label is waited a moment, the website that this function can define to you makes a comprehensive inspection, it lists all pages that have a problem let you revise, this function is very considerate.

12. 內 builds Email
    It is easier that 內 builds the function of Email to be able to let you the ground, more the member with apace a nd website development medium group is communicated, be taken out by a certain person when a certain file when the editor, want to press his name can send Email inform him only. The Email that oneself had defined in wanting every 個 person to define the working flow of the dialog box in the website only can.

13. Compositive Macromedia Exchange
    The main function of Macromedia Exchange is: Download the plug-in unit that offers by DW government, this function is done not have in DW3, need installs a patch. And in DW4 already Macromedia Exchange compositive, it is convenient very.

Summary
    Still be that word of article begin, of DW4 rolling out is not qualitative leap, but there is no lack of a few can encircle the window that can light, I summed up the following and everybody to share:
1.DW4 organic ground makes the webpage " 3 swordsman " (Dreamweaver, flash, firework) union rises, make bet ween them cooperate more harmonious, especially integrated a few functions of Flash, although very few but very practical.
This DW4 raised 2. the function of group development respect, it is important that this do a website to open hair blame to be to big network company, I special appreciation its built-in Email function, a software can be accomplished so fine, really commendable.
3. is the weak sports of DW3 all the time to the processing of source code, the occurrence of DW4 raised it to handle the ability of source code greatly, its main watch is right now of Javascript debug, those who do is very professional, can say DW4 is environment of development of program of a better Javascript, if you understand source code not quite, it provides comprehensive HTML, CSS and JavaScript code reference for you.
Bone jumps in 4. egg. Very those who make me disappointed is DW4 bad to Chinese support still, a few functions that add newly do not support Chinese.
