resemblance of Dreamweaver


Recommended Posts

Forget nvu, it's just a modification of Mozilla Composer which will be nearly identical in functionality. That said, I was just about to recommend Mozilla Composer before I even saw nvu. Composer has tabs for WYSIWYG editing, html source editing, and page previewing. It has most of the functionality of DW, but it lacks the super-advanced stuff that was added for DW2004. I'd say it falls between DW 4 and DW MX. As with any new program you're not used to, be prepared for some things to seem a little unusual at first.

if you guys actually read the site you will see that mozilla is breaking off its internet suite into seperate projects, basically this nvu project is from the mozilla composer code but modified heavily.. and its funded by lindows so whatever modification you see in nvu will be sent back to mozilla and possibly added to composer.

Of course, you can always install Dreamweaver on Linux using Codeweaver's Crossover Office. It works great. It's not open source, but it can be final answer to those who want to switch to Linux, but want some of their familiar Windows programs like Dreamweaver or MS Office (Can't believe I just said that :blink: ).

Currently, there is no good programs that can do DW style editing on Linux yet, natively and open source.

This is mainly because there is not a big market for it at the moment - Linux users tend to use text editors instead of DW style apps.

However, the market will start getting much larger as people become more and more intrested in Linux, and latley I've seen an influx of people on forums wanting this sort of software.

Just as in 2000 there was a lack of good free office suites for linux, in less than 3 years we now have KOffice, Abiword + Gnumeric and OpenOffice...

You don't need Codeweaver's to use Dreamweaver in Linux. You can use the normal wine builds.

- See here for Dreamweaver MX

- See here for Dreamweaver 4

Also, just a potshot for Macromedia products in Linux:

Flash MX

Personally, I use vim.
