Hello all

Just playing around with CS3, is there an easy way to view what the code is displaying 'live' in CS3? Just be easier to change things on the fly so to speak...

Thank you
 
DW does have the design view, but it's not a good render. Always best to check your development in a proper test environment... get your browser out!
 
For things like this I find it easier to test the change in Firebug, manually amending the CSS and watching the results, then if it's what I want, replicating that into the project's CSS.

WYSIWYG editors' rendering shouldn't be trusted at all.
 
Not even sure what 'WYSIWYG' is :p

But yes, program is Dreamweaver, turns out i was being a douche, so I can see it in the design view, although slecting certain parts seem limited.

Thank you for the posts all :)
 
No no no, you seem to have misinterpreted what I was saying. I said it does have design view, but its not good for testing how your code will be displayed.

As in, don't use design view. Test properly. If design view is working then you aren't using a scripting language, so you may as well have the site locally and just press F5 on your browser.
 
Exactly, even if you are using scripting languages, get yourself one of the many local environments like XAMPP etc.

Thank you :)

I was merely testing a few bits, and figured as dreamweaver was on there it may have some decent form of 'on the fly viewing' for its price tag :o but obviously not :p
 
Fraid not, but DW does pack an awesome amount of features that help considerably in certain environments. I use it for its auto complete, syntax highlighting and inbuilt site management sync.
