The most tedious part of the web development is the inevitable code>preview in browser cycle. That’s why Adobe integrated the Web kit rendering engine in DW CS4. Live View lets you run and render your page right within DW’s Design View.
This allows you to see the rendered code directly, without having to PIB.
Not only is the CSS rendering as it would in the browser, but you also get full javascript interactivity. Drop-down menus work, roll-over images roll over.
For cross browser testing, grab Adobe’s BrowserLab Extension, which gives DW CS4 users added functionality, such as testing local content and different states of interactive pages.
Wonder what Adobe will unveil at the CS5 launch April 12 … what would you most like to see in future releases of Adobe Creative Suite apps?
