Dreamweaver; part of the CSS panel group in Dreamweaver 8.
Document toolbar: Above the document window. Buttons on the left side
allow you to show and hide (Code View/Design View) the HTML code for
the page, and a button farther to the right allows you to preview your new
Web page in the browser(s) of your choice.
Document window: The large window in which you create a Web page. At the
top of this window, you can see tabs for each document (Web page or CSS
file) you have openvery convenient when you are working with many
documents open at one time.
Files panel: This is where you manage your local and remote Web pages and
other Web files. Part of the Files panel group. It is crucial that you define
a site properly (see below) in Dreamweaver before you start to create
pages. The contents of the defined site are visible in this panel.
