About coding in Dreamweaver
Supported languages
In addition to text-editing capabilities, Adobe® Dreamweaver® CS3 provides various features, such as code hints, to
help you code in the following languages:
• HTML
• XHTML
• CSS
• JavaScript
• ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML)
• Visual Basic (for ASP and ASP.NET)
• C# (for ASP.NET)
• JSP
• PHP
Other languages, such as Perl, are not supported by the language-specific coding features in Dreamweaver; for
example, you can create and edit Perl files, but code hints don’t apply to that language.

About fixing invalid markup
If your document contains invalid code, Dreamweaver displays that code in Design view and optionally highlights
it in Code view. If you select the code in either view, the Property inspector displays information about why it’s
invalid and how to fix it.
You can specify preferences for automatically rewriting various kinds of invalid code when you open a document.
