Dream weaver supports both Windows and Macintosh Operating Systems. The latest versions of Dreamweaver includes suppotrts for Cascaded style Sheets, Java Server Pages, Active Server Pages, PHP etc. The main benefit of Dreamweaver is that a non technical person can also design web pages from this software as the codes details are hide from the user.
