• Visual authoring with XML data
  Get up to speed with XML using powerful, visual tools to integrate XML-based data, such as RSS feeds into web pages using a simple drag and drop workflow. Jump to code view to customize the transformation, using improved code hinting for XML and XSLT.
• New, unified CSS panel
  The new, unified CSS panel provides a one stop shop for learning, understanding, and working with the CSS styles applied to pages in a visual way. All the CSS functionality is consolidated into one panel set and enhanced to make working with CSS easier and more productive. The new interface makes it easier to see the cascade of styles applied to a specific element and easily identify where attributes are defined. A property grid allows for quick edits.
• CSS layout visualization
  Apply visual aides at design time to outline CSS layout borders or color CSS layouts to reveal complex nesting schemes and improve selection. Click on the CSS layout for valuable Tooltips, such as ID and padding and margin and border settings, to better understand the elements that are controlling the design.
• Style rendering toolbar
  View content the same way end-users will see it, no matter what the delivery mechanism, with new support for CSS media types in Dreamweaver 8. Use the style rendering toolbar to toggle to design view and see how it will look in print, on a handheld, or on a screen.
• CSS rendering improvements
  Match how complex CSS layouts will render in most browsers, with substantial improvements in design view accuracy. Dreamweaver now fully supports advanced CSS techniques, such as overflow, pseudo-elements, and form elements.
• Accessibility: Support for WCAG/W3C priority 2 checkpoints
  In addition to the integrated accessibility evaluation tool for Section 508 and WCAG Priority 1 checkpoints, Dreamweaver now supports both CSS and accessibility with an updated evaluation tool that includes WCAG Priority 2 checkpoints.
• Improved WebDAV
  WebDAV in Dreamweaver 8 now supports digest authentication and SSL for secure file transfer and offers improved connectivity with a wider array of servers.
• Zoom
  Get great control over design with zoom. Pan in and inspect an image or work with a complex nested table layout. Zoom out to review how a page will look overall.
• Code collapse
  Focus only on the code in use. Hide and expand blocks of code by selection or by tag to stay organized.
• Background file transfer
  Stop waiting and keep working while Dreamweaver 8 uploads files to the server. New functionality enables users to work with files in their local machine while Dreamweaver communicates with the server.
• Guides
  Compare the page layout to comps with pixel perfect accuracy using guides to measure page layouts. Great visual feedback helps measure distances accurately and supports intelligent snapping.
• Coding toolbar
  The new code toolbar surfaces common coding operations in a gutter bar along the side of the coding surface. No more hunting through menus and panels to find code snippets. New coding features include comment/uncomment.
• Code editing improvements
  Gain greater control over how the tool hints and completes tags to fit with your coding style.

• New starter pages
  Get started with web design in a snap. Beautiful new layouts and designs allow users to go from installation to full site in no time flat.
• Compare files
  Quickly compare files to identify what has changed, whether it is two local files, a file on the local and remote, or two files on the remote server. Dreamweaver 8 now integrates with diff utilities on both the Mac and Windows platforms.
• Paste special
  Spend less time wrestling content from email and Microsoft® Word® into formats. With new pasting options in Dreamweaver, retain all the source formatting created in Microsoft Word, or just take the text and apply the CSS already attached to the page.

• Support for ColdFusion MX 7
  Updated support for ColdFusion® MX 7 includes new server behaviors and code hinting.

• Support for PHP 5
  Take advantage of updated support for PHP 5, including server behaviors and code hinting.
• Macromedia Web Publishing System: notification and event logging
  Keep track of everything that is going on within your site. Events in Dreamweaver will notify the Macromedia Web Publishing System server so that all changes to a website in the WPS ecosystem are recorded.
