Version 3 also introduces QuickTag, Dreamweaver's code-revealing HTML editor. Select an element, press Control-T, and you can see and edit its HTML code without exiting to an edit window. There's a fully interactive HTML editor as well. Dreamweaver's preferred design mode uses layers similar to the frames used in desktop publishing packages. You draw a layer, then insert text, graphics or a table.
Layers can move freely across the page.
That's a pretty radical departure from the table-based grid system used by most Web layout tools, including Adobe's GoLive. Since layers upset 3.x Web browsers, you can convert layers to conventional HTML tables, albeit somewhat tediously. Supporting the User and Team Dreamweaver spits out dialog boxes and requests to save at just about every turn. Until you get used to it, the handholding can get on your nerves. On the other hand, I'm making fewer mistakes that need correction after the preview.
