Using the font tag in Dreamweaver CS4

by jcook on August 3, 2009

A lot of folks are whining and moaning because Dreamweaver CS4 now enforces the use of CSS styles rather than HTML attributes for formatting. One of the things this means is no more font tag (and its related attributes).
That’s a good thing in my book. No more code like this:
<p><font color=”#003399″ size=”5″ face=”Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif”>paragraph [...]

Upgrading from Dreamweaver 8 to CS4

by jcook on April 2, 2009

Personally I considered Dreamweaver CS3, Adobe’s first upgrade to the program after acquiring it, to be a “must have” update.Obviously, a lot of you didn’t see it that way.
