GoLive 6 or Dreamweaver MX

[skinzz]

Hi,

for a long time I use dreamweaver to make sites, allways I' get stuck putting the layout the way I want it. (frames, Iframes, tables). Only fireworks and flash are integrated nicely. 'insert fireworks html' into tables,... So on the net I was looking for solutions and I found out about goLive 6
http://www.adobe.com/products/golive/topways.html

So as it says, GoLive can be the answer, or what do you suggest ? (learn html , step by step)! other suggestions?

dreamweaver mx for sure... I"m on dreamweaver since 2 years and it's the best...MX make the cleaner code u can get by "wysiwyg" program...I work at this moment on a page that the previous webmaster had make in golive 6...the ugliest code I've seen in my life..I've to rewrite almost entirely all the page to be sure that the new code that MX will generate will not be shrinked by golive code. I've tried golive few times and dreamweaver is much more user friendly and fast...native PHP support by now..and the cleaner code u can get!!

so it was my personnal ad for macromedia...:lol

cheers,

Patrick

dreamweaver can be extended with extension for free most of the time...try to get same stuff for golive is not the same story....

Yesterday night I had the chance to take a look into golive 6. I can't see so many differences and I miss my extensions.
I have another question. If I change the layout of my page in PS, open in Imageready and I don't change any Html, export 'images only'. No problem! If I change a rollover or add a new one then I have to update the HTML, I have to change everything again in dreamweaver (align, background, extensions...) Is there a way to get around this.?

skinzz -- if you're only adjusting the images and making sure they're named consistantly, there should be no reason that Dreamweaver would make you do this.
I've done this quite a few times and never had to change a thing in Dreamweaver.

are you creating a site folder in dreamweaver?? what version of dreamweaver are you on?

i'm using mx.

No I don't have problems if I change something on the images, but when I add a new button for instance, and a rollover, that needs html, doesn't it ! So here I have to save as (html & images). And here it overwrites my existing dreamweaver html.

I use Dreamweaver MX. I've wanted to try Golive for a long time though and never had the chance :)

I have GoLive 5 and I wish I had some experience with DW. I have always been a fan of Adobe.

www.adobe.com other downloads Golive
gets you to a 107Mb tryout version of the product.
I thought long and hard about this subject too, since I have been an adobe fan since Aldus days. Ended up buying MX because of the amount of "noise" and "chatter" about it and flash. Hardly see / hear anything about golive. Same in the bookstores - lots on MX maybe 1 or 2 on golive. I like MX, although it is much like Adobe - very deep. Think once I am over the learning curve things will be ok (I hope...).
HTH...:)
