[Take My Advice - Im Not Using It!] Yes, its true Macromedia has its own HTML/XHTML editor called HomeSite. We have not been using it in class because we had issues with getting it to run on our network. Its working now and its an excellent editor, so I would like to encourage all of you to take a look at HomeSite.

[ developedtraffic.com] Dreamweaver MX 2004: (4) Coding hints. DWMX2004 has implemented HomeSite's coding hints and code-closing feature (you start typing tags; DW gives you a choice of tags; selecting pops the tag into your code). This is terrific — while I can and do also hand-code, I don't really feel like typing *every* angle bracket and tag. Fast is good.

[Builder.com.com] Dreamweaver MX: Getting used to the changes April 8, 2003 John ...: In addition to getting used to the new features in Dreamweaver MX, old-school ColdFusion Studio/Homesite users will feel the pinch of losing some capabilities. For instance, although snippets are still present in Dreamweaver MX, they aren’t portable from Studio/Homesite into Dreamweaver. (However, Macromedia does offer a Studio/Homesite snippet converter at Macromedia Exchange.) If you’re anything like me, you have quite a collection of snippets to handle a multitude of tasks. Creating a snippet in Dreamweaver MX is about as easy as it was in Studio/Homesite, so there isn’t much of a learning curve.

[Hshelp.com] Marjolein's Help for HomeSite Users: If you don't have HomeSite of ColdFusion 4.01, don't worry. You can get at least a partial update just by installing the HTML Tag Definitions/Editors. The HS3.01 and CFS3.11 have a few limitations that the 4.0x versions don't have: these older programs don't support Large Fonts in tag editors and BodyEditing is very limited (it will only work reliably if the tag body does not have any markup). Also in these programs the information for Tag Insight is not defined from the Tag Definition files, as it is for version 4, and they don't have Tag Inspector. The tag definitions for the version 3.x programs reflect these limitations.
