ou know, I really do like Dreamweaver. And the code view in DW8 is downright dreamy! Love that "collapse code" option. It really makes it easier to find what I'm working on at the moment.

However, it's been a long time since I started Dreamweaver UltraDev, and there really haven't been a lot of impovements in the ASP arena. Some, yes, but not enough. Here's a few things I think that should have been added as built-in Server Behaviors by now:

<ul>
<li>Insert/Update more than one db table at a time</li>
<li>Nested repeat regions (see below)</li>
<li>Conditional Recordsets (create a "child" recordset that is filtered by a variable in the "parent" recordset)</li>
<li>Behaviors for pulling random content from a table or directory (great for banner ads)</li>
<li>An easy-to use uploader</li>
<li>CDO o CDONTS email support</li>
</ul>

Yes, I've been able to do all these things, and I've learned a lot of ASP in the process. And Dreamweaver 8 is a solid upgrade. And I'm also aware that there are third-party extensions available. But, with an application this mature (and to be honest, at its price level), I just think each release should add more advanced and robust Server Behaviors.

Thanks for listening.
