Targeting designers who want to learn all of the essential features of Dreamweaver 1.2, Using Macromedia Dreamweaver offers both design and technical advice. The book begins by teaching you how to add text and images to a simple Web page and how to use Dreamweaver in conjunction with an external text editor. The book covers BBEdit and HomeSite, which are text editors for Macintosh and Windows (respectively) that ship with Dreamweaver, and discusses how to work with other editors as well.

Next you learn how to beef up your site by adding Shockwave movies, Java applets, and ActiveX content; creating forms; and manipulating image maps. The book helps you explore design issues as you work with tables, frames, and layers to further refine page layout. Trickier chapters have you create and add scripts; form-validation behaviors; and animations, such as flashing objects, push pages, rollovers, and collapsible outlines. Finally, you fine-tune, upload, and manage your site. The book wraps up with lots of troubleshooting advice for features throughout Dreamweaver, as well as reference guides to BBEdit, HomeSite, HTML 4.0, cascading style sheets, and JavaScript. Keep in mind that throughout the book the authors assume you're already fairly comfortable with the newest Web technologies. There's a good mixture of both in-depth discussion of features as well as how-to advice, large screen shots, and shortcut tips. --Kathleen Caster
