Dreamweaver 3 / CSS

Read please

Hi everyone

i was wondering why dreamweaver 3 does not pick up a lot of the css. It does not display DIV's and a lot other things properly. CSS tables and its attributes
A lot of it is being ignored.

How can i make it pick up everything to make dreamweaver show me how it will look like in the browser?
Isn't that what its supposed to do?

What about MX? Does it pick up more css code?

Thanks for help!

Dreamweaver 4 is the same, Dreamweaver MX displays most CSS.

Dreamweaver MX displays most CSS

MX tries its little heart out - but it still won't display all the CSS. To see the CSS as intended you'll just have to upload to a testing area. DW3's inability to deal with CSS was the reason I learnt to hand code - I couldn't see what on earth was going on - so I just learnt to do it properly.

as edit_g says, MX tries - and it gives enough of an idea to work with. to properly see whats going on, just hit F12

Actually I was wondering the same thing about Dreamweaver (MX in my case) and CSS. Like others have said my experience with MX is that it does some CSS, but support is pretty weak overall. Does anyone out there use Dreamweaver for CSS at all? Or is the general opinion that it's just not quite good enough to be useful? I'm finding more and more that Dreamweaver is more of a pain than it's worth.

for CSS 1, i don't find many problems, once your going into near on structural CSS, then all wysiwyg seem to fail badly. I use topstyle as an CSS editor, seems to work well, though i should really take Nick_W's lessons in CSS, and get down to coding it.
