High-quality CSS rendering engine Produce a faithful representation of the look of the final browser-rendered page with a powerful CSS rendering engine which allows design decisions to be made with confidence Standard or Quirks rendering Render pages in Standard or Quirks mode depending on the doctype setting of the page for maximum browser compatibility.
Site and page templates Improve initial design productivity by starting with professionally designed templates that are fully XHTML and CSS compliant Tag property grid Retrieve and set all valid properties for a selected tag.
Search Downloads. Sublime Text. Android SDK. Java JDK. Java SE The main editing screen is a mixture of Dreamweaver and Office. The editing panes have toolbars at the top, mimicking something out of Word, and are bordered by palettes of CSS and tag properties with Adobe-style, diagonal-cut tabs.
There are no drawing tools or easy drag and drop positioning. This is when you need to turn to the DVD-based training which, while a bit over-enthusiastically American for UK tastes, does cover a lot of useful material and several techniques specific to Expression Web. Even with the training and the useful tabbed CSS Selector flip-cards, you need to think from the start like a professional designer. This means preparing all the page elements, including basic graphics and photos, before you begin.
Expression Web is keyed on structure and Microsoft has taken the opportunity to design the program from the ground up as a standards-based editor. It has none of the baggage Dreamweaver has to carry for legacy compatibility.
CSS is certainly well handled and the CSS palette updates with new styles as you add and edit content. The palette enables you to view and change any of the properties of a given style in a very easy, more intuitive way than with its main rivals.
You can easily flick between design and code views and the code editor both checks lines as you enter them and offers an Intellisense drop-down list for completing commands with a couple of clicks. This speeds up development and helps prevent silly syntax errors, which direct typing can inject into your code. Dragging and dropping of ASP.
Net objects onto your form is really quick and simple and includes some sophisticated examples like calendars and Wizards. Net that Expression Web adheres to. You can also validate your new design against W3C accessibility guidelines which, among others, stipulate that sites should be readable by the visually impaired.
I'm stunned at how slow this program is, and how many nag screens there are for the trial version. It repeatedly asks for a product key several times before finally letting you get to work. The Table features are pretty incredible, I admit. If you're working with CSS, there are other, better programs than this. It seems more geared to non-programmers like myself who want to build a nice little site rather than anything professional. It's not freeware anymore. What you can download is a day-trial which you have to activate.
Not bad for free software. Lacks several features that the more powerful programs like Dreamweaver have. Can't even create image rollovers and the like let alone the more advanced stuff. Experienced webmasters should pass on this one. Installation fails.
Oh well, I'll just stick with Notepad like I always have. More of a question for those that have used this. DudeBoyz, you've completely missing the whole thing. So please stop trolling. Thank you. MS at the top, again NET framework, something dreamweaver can only dream of.
