What’s Old in Dreamweaver CS6
Unfortunately, not everything in Dreamweaver CS6 is shiny and new. Dreamweaver’s “Server Behaviors,” which let you save form information, retrieve information from databases, and password-protect web pages, have gotten old from neglect. This once-innovative feature was a boon to designers who needed complex features but didn’t know how to program. However, Adobe has basically ignored this feature for several versions of the program. The programming behind these behaviors is now old and unprofessional. While Adobe hasn’t yet removed the tools, this book no longer includes a section dedicated to teaching them. It’s not in your interest to learn how to use them, nor in our interest to lead you toward a tool that’s no good. (Having said that, there are some excellent Dreamweaver extensions from WebAssist [www.webassist.com] that let you tap into the power of database programming, bypassing the old Dreamweaver tools.)
