Live Data view sends the page-in-process to the application server to depict
records from the data source within the page, as shown in Figure 2-2. All elements on the page remain
editable; you can even alter the dynamic data??™s formatting and see those changes instantly applied. Live Data
view shortens the work cycle by showing the designer exactly what the user will see. In addition, the page
can be viewed under different conditions through the Live Data Settings feature.

When in Live Data view, you can edit the Web page to accommodate the actual data used.
Integrated visual and text editors
In the early days of the World Wide Web, most developers hand-coded their Web pages using simple text
editors such as Notepad and SimpleText. The second generation of Web authoring tools brought visual
design or WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors to market. What these products furnished in
ease of layout, they lacked in completeness of code. Professional Web developers were required to handcode
their Web pages, even with the most sophisticated WYSIWYG editor.

Introducing Dreamweaver CS3 2
Dreamweaver acknowledges this reality and has integrated a superb visual editor with its browser-like
Document view. You can work graphically in Design view, or programmatically in Code view.
