What's New in Dreamweaver?
The big new features in Dreamweaver are these. First is “fluid grid layouts” that let you specify exactly how page elements will be arranged when your site is displayed on a small-screen phone, a midsize tablet, or a full-screen desktop. (Keep reading for more detail on this.) Next is built-in support for PhoneGap Build, an open-source platform that makes it easy to create a single Web-based app that runs on multiple phone platforms. Dreamweaver also improved its integration with Query Mobile, a JavaScript-based platform for building browser-based phone and tablet apps. CSS Transitions—the Web-based counterpart of transitions in traditional presentation apps—are now supported through a reasonably intuitive interface.
Adobe has improved the fidelity and flexibility of Dreamweaver’s “Live” preview, and improved its “multiscreen” preview panel that shows what your page will look like at phone, tablet, and desktop screen sizes. Adobe’s online “browser lab” makes it possible to test your pages on older browser platforms, though Microsoft’s comparable SuperPreview feature offers an even wider choice of old and new browsers to test in.
