Dreamweaver MX includes a number of functions that help in making more advanced web pages.

In order to use many of them, some familiarity with basic HTML (hypertext markup language: the language of web pages) is required.

Site management-- defining a site in Dreamweaver-- makes viewing and editing pages much easier, and enables site wide changes, asset management and element libraries, and other find and replace functionality, and the use of templates.

Style sheets let you define the appearance of items on the page globally or by class.

Forms allow you to collect data via a fill in form and have the results sent via email.

Imagemaps, Mouseovers, Flash Buttons and Text are all different ways to use images and interactive images on your page; some of them will not work for all users.

Frames allow you to have two or more different pages open in the same window.

There are some utilities in Dreamweaver that can help with using tables: inserting tabular data, preset formats and the ability to sort the contents of a table

Other settings in Dreamweaver let you use multiple browsers to preview, set up your own font lists, and use different colors than those in the simple palette.You can use the History Panel to repeat a serious of commands, or create a separate command, out of separate tasks.

Dreamweaver also includes functionality to let you insert pre-coded Javascript Behaviors. Though these will not work in every environment, they can sometimes be helpful. If someone has given you a Javascript to insert into a page, it's easy to Cut and Paste Scripts in to pages.
