I’ve recently abandoned Dreamweaver as my primary web development platform. I know what you are thinking, “what took you so long?” Well, the truth of the matter is, I think Dreamweaver gets a bad wrap, just because of the WYSYWIG stigma.

The Cloud = The Internet It is not some magical product that Microsoft has invented. Microsoft is using the term to make you think they are...

Whether you are using the old UsabilityInitiative extension, or the new split out Vector enhancements, you may have noticed an issue where the Collapsible Navigation functionality causes the first nav item in your list to remain open when the page loads.
