Sweet Dreams from Macromedia

Macromedia’s latest update to Dreamweaver, Web authoring software that supports an array of modern features such as cascading style sheets and animated buttons, continues to tempt designers. The new version 1.2 adds site-management features, a conversion tool for making 4.x-version browser-specific code compatible with version 3.x browsers, new JavaScript behaviors such as browser detection and image pre-loading, and onscreen editing features. Registered users can download a 5.4 MB updater (you must have your registration number to download) or order it on CD-ROM for $19.99; a free 30-day trial version (6 MB) is also available. Dreamweaver retails for $299.
