The CurrCon Java Applet displays prices on this web page converted with today’s exchange rates into your local international currency, e.g. Euros, US dollars, Canadian dollars, British Pounds, Indian Rupees… CurrCon requires Java 1.1 or later, preferably 1.6.0_10. If you can’t see the prices, or if you just want to learn more about CurrCon, click here for help.

DreamWeaver

Adobe’s (neé Macromedia’s) Dreamweaver is the tool most professional webdesigners use for editing HTML, especially HTML with embededded JSP, PHP, ASP, JavaScript or Cold Fusion. It lets you see the HTML tags (in the Code Inspector) and the rendered HTML side by side. You can edit either one, and see the changes reflected in the other view.

Rendering

The rendering is reasonably good, just like a real browser. Applets and iframes just show as blank windows, but images show as the actual image. It does not understand styles on <li. It shows underlined links, but you can’ click them. It inserts white space that will not appear in a browser rendering. Surely somebody can find a way to write a browser plug-in that lets you click on a spot in the rendering and it moves the cursor in to the right place in a text editor. That would give you 90% of the value of Dreamweaver without the expense.

WYSIWYG

You can for example apply a class to a span of text by highlighting it and right clicking and selecting from on of the predefined styles. The style names show up in the fonts and colours they will render as making selection much more accurate. You can buy it direct from the manufacturer for $399.00 USD . It has a combination of features that make it suitable for both technical and artistic people. You need both to design a good website. There are many features for embedding Ajax, JSP and other programatic tags. I don’t know what might be done to make it support html static macros. It has buttons for composing forms. A large percentage of the support is for Spry, Adobe’ Ajax package.
