Adobe BrowserLab

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I decided to take a glance at the widgets I put in earlier today and stumbled onto a nice little tool over at Adobe.  In Dreamweaver you have a few options for viewing your work to determine how it will look in the real world.  The first method is to use a split view, which gives you one frame of code and another frame of design.  The obvious benefit is that you can quickly find your code problems before sending it up to the site.  However, as you notice from the image below, it might not actually be what  you Continue reading Adobe BrowserLab→
