Dreamweaver is a Web design tool that provides visual layout tools, and HTML editor, and support for Dynamic HTML. The Dreamweaver 4 Fireworks 4 Studio is designed for the production staff at the core of Web teams. Production artists simultaneously edit and optimize code and graphics to rapidly produce and edit Web content. These developers are the center of the Web process, as they must integrate the work of other team members such as graphic designers and application builders. Dreamweaver has the fastest-growing market-share for any Web development tool. It is second only to Microsoft's FrontPage and has grown at the expense of both FrontPage and archrival Adobe's GoLive.

The Dreamweaver Developer's Instant Troubleshooter focuses on the problems common to complex areas of Dreamweaver web development. This book also functions as a grounding and installation reference for additional technologies like PHP, ASP, MySQL, and CSS.
Inside the covers of this book, await top-notch solutions to your web development problems. You'll want to keep this tool by your side as you explore and create with Dreamweaver MX, because this complex tool sets possible traps for the unwary. Complexities include new features for building web sites with server-side scripting, standards-compliant code, advanced template features, and Cascading Style Sheets.
But this book will steer you away from possible Dreamweaver traps. Each chapter focuses on a particular area of Dreamweaver MX development, and examines likely questions&emdash;providing complete solutions. Whether you're having problems with setting up IIS to test your ASP pages, or you have a CSS quandary that you just can't wrap your brain around, then this is the book for you!
You will learn how to define sites, format text using cascading style sheets, use the new Design View to create tables, use the History palette, import text into a table and format tables, create templates, use libraries, create and work with online forms, create and use frames, add animation and even FTP your completed files to your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
This book is a "beginner-intermediate" tutorial that will give you a head start on using Dreamweaver to create and manage Web sites. This is not a bible--nor is it intended for people who consider themselves advanced Dreamweaver users (or for people who already knew older versions of Dreamweaver). That said, there are many people who consider some of the lessons presented (such as style sheets, layers templates, behaviors and timelines) to be advanced topics. We do not agree. The activities covered in this book are what we truely believe are essential to working effectively with Dreamweaver.
There are "Confidence Checks," quizzes and labs in each module that will reinforce what you have learned.
For you more advanced souls, we are hard at work on "Advanced Dreamweaver MX." Lessons presented in the advanced book will include, but are not limited to, Prototype/ Storyboard a site, Import and Clean up Word HTML, Search and Replace, Advanced Style Sheet Concepts, Work with Java Applets, Change Java Parameters, Complex Rollovers, Work with Layers, Multiple Timelines and Behaviors, Work with Built-in Frames Objects, Integrating Fireworks Navigation Bars and Pop-up Menus, Duplicating and re-using CSS styles, Advanced Templates (including Optional regions), Advanced Table Design Using Layout Mode, Insert Automatic Navigation Bars, Link to External Scripts, Disjointed Rollovers, Integrate Flash, Extend Dreamweaver, Advanced Form Validation, Integrate Databases.
