dreamweaver

A comprehensive Web site authoring program for Windows and Mac from Adobe. Dreamweaver is a sophisticated authoring package that enables the HTML programmer to build complex interactive Web sites using HTML, JavaScript and server-side programming languages. It is not a program, allowing the user to drag and drop images on any part of the page. In fact, many common Web elements are best coded in HTML, and Dreamweaver immediately renders the code in a design window. templates provide rudimentary foundations for creating Web pages. Dreamweaver was originally developed by Macromedia, which was acquired by Adobe in 2005.

Remote folder is where you store your files, depending on your environment, for testing, production, collaboration, and so on. Dreamweaver refers to this folder as your "remote site." The remote folder will be a folder on the computer running your web server.

Folder for dynamic pages (Testing Server folder) is the folder where Dreamweaver processes dynamic pages. This folder is often the same folder as the remote folder.

Note: Macromedia and Macromedia ColdFusion Studio users can think of a Dreamweaver site as a or Studio project.

There are two ways you can set up a Dreamweaver site: use the Site Definition Wizard, which steps you through the setup process; use the Site Definition Advanced settings, which enable you to set up local, remote, and testing folders individually, as necessary.

This tutorial shows you how to use the Site Definition Advanced settings. For instructions on how to use the Site Definition Wizard (recommended for users who are new to Dreamweaver), see Dreamweaver Help (Help > Using Dreamweaver > Dreamweaver Basics > Planning and Setting Up Your Site > Using the Site Definition Wizard).
