I've heard so much praise for Dreamweaver, I'm considering to switch from FrontPage.  The one thing I like about FrontPage though is its ability to take care of navigation issues.  I can move pages, rename pages, change links, etc, and FrontPage takes care of ensuring that the rest of my site is updated accordingly.  Does Dreamweaver provide the same functionality?

Thanks,
Ron

You can easily do those things in DW. Move, copy, paste, duplicate, delete, rename. You can accomplish things using shortcut menus or keys, or drag and drop. When you rename/move files, DW will ask you if you want to update links. It also has a synchronization function that will show you files changed locally, remotely, or both.

You can try DW yourself for 30 days for free to make sure. I had DW MX before and wasn't sure about upgrading to MX 2004, but it is worth it to me now because I use CSS. Otherwise, I don't see much difference between the two versions.

What makes MX 2004 better when using CSS?  CSS is the direction I am leaning for layout.

It's hard to show... so I'll give you a link to a DW tutorial: http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/r61914037/
It was very helpful. Thumbs Up

Basically, with MX, I had to go through the stylesheet to look for settings I wanted to change. In 2004, there are panels that show the styles, the setting, and possible settings, so I don't have to constantly look them up. I didn't deal with CSS in MX so I don't know what its capabilities are, but the person who gave the tutorial made references to them.

I couldn't get to the tutorial with this link, but your description of what you found helpful in MX 2004 was very helpful.  I tried to download the trial version but was getting corrupted file errors when I tried to install it... just hasn't been a good day for web stuff  Sad  but I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.
