Since I have a PC with Windows XP , I was interested in finding the number one rated Windows editor. (Dreamweaver CS4). I thought that it would be a piece of cake to download it and start evaluating it. Not! My first four attempts resulted with Photshop Elements being deposited on my desktop. I was incredulous at the outcome and the amount of time being wasted. I think Adobe was confused because I have used Photoshop Elements in the past on a trial basis for this class and therefore inadvertenly assigned that download to me. I grew so exasperated that I searched for alternatives like Homesite and others. However,upon arriving at their webpages I felt too inexperienced about editors in general to choose from the vast array of editor products they were offering. So I returned to Dreamweaver and on the fifth attempt they actually downloaded the Dreamweaver CS4 program.
I did not waste any time getting started. I split the screen into code and normal view. I typed some sentences first and watched the code form in the code window. Then I tried using a new paragraph and inserting a website address to see the code. So far, so good. I then used the menu bar command to download a picture.It was easy and the code looked great. However, upon typing my e-mail address in the normal text, Dreamweaver did not make a highlighted blue link out of it in the code or in the normal text window.hmmmm
Undaunted, I tried spellcheck. In a flash, the scan was made and the results were in. I was curious as to how the program would treat a website address and once again it only printed in code exactly what was typed in text. I concluded that there must be a command on the menu bar that instructs the code to create links to e-mail addresses and websites because it was not happening in the code like I expected.
