The Document window
The Document window shows the current document. You can select any of
the following views:
Design view
is a design environment for visual page layout, visual editing,
and rapid application development. In this view, Dreamweaver displays a
fully editable, visual representation of the document, similar to what you
would see viewing the page in a browser.
Code view
is a hand-coding environment for writing and editing HTML,
JavaScript, server-language code—such as PHP or ColdFusion Markup
Language (CFML)—and any other kind of code. For more information,
see Chapter 20, "Coding in Dreamweaver" in Using Dreamweaver.
Code and Design view lets you view both Code view and Design view for
the same document in a single window.
When the Document window has a title bar, the title bar displays the page
title and, in parentheses, the file's path and filename. After the filename,
Dreamweaver displays an asterisk if you've made changes that you haven't
saved yet.
When the Document window is maximized in the integrated workspace
layout (Windows only), it has no title bar; in that case the page title and
the file's path and filename appear in the title bar of the main workspace
window.
Additionally, when a Document window is maximized, tabs appear at the
top of the Document window area showing the filenames of all open
documents. To switch to a document, click its tab.
For more information about using the Document window, see Chapter 1,
"Exploring the Workspace" in Using Dreamweaver.
The Document toolbar
The Document toolbar contains buttons that let you toggle between
different views of your document quickly: Code, Design, and a split view
that shows both Code and Design view.
