Differences Between Dreamweaver 8 and Dreamweaver CS3

Adobe Bought Dreamweaver
No, this isn't news, but for many Web designers, this is a critical reason to purchase Dreamweaver CS3. This is the first version of Dreamweaver to come out with a full integration between Dreamweaver and Adobe graphics tools like Photoshop. Now when you have an image in your document, you can click on it and edit it right in Photoshop quickly and easily.
Better CSS Support
One of the best new features in Dreamweaver CS3 is the addition of better CSS layouts. They are well commented in the code, so it's easy to start understanding how CSS layouts work. Plus they have over 32 layouts to choose from in fixed and liquid designs and 1-, 2-, or 3-column formats.
When I'm testing a style, I often start out by styling the exact tag right in the HTML in a style attribute. But this isn't scalable, so once I get the style working I have to move that into my style sheet. With Dreamweaver CS3, all I do is right-click on the tag in the inspector and choose "Convert Inline CSS to Rule". Dreamweaver will build a custom class for that style rule or create a full CSS selector based on the position of the element in the document tree.
More features
Dreamweaver CS3 includes the Spry framework to make it really easy to add Ajax widgets and effects to your Web pages.
It has extensive support for XSLT using XML files as data sources and better support for Macintosh Intel Processors. According to the MacWorld tests, "updating a template in Dreamweaver CS3 on our 2.66GHz dual-core Xeon Mac Pro" took just under a minute, as opposed to nearly four minutes in Dreamweaver 8."
