Chapter 7 Using Web Development Languages

About language support

This section describes what languages are supported, how to get around limitations, 
and provides an overview of how H for Dreamweaver MX detects and 
handles a language.

Supported languages

H for Dreamweaver MX has significant support for current standards in 
several web development languages. For example, the following languages all have 
their own tag definitions in H for Dreamweaver MX. 

•

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

•

Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML)

•

ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML)

•

Visual Tools Markup Language (VTML)

•

Java

•

JavaServer Pages (JSP)

•

JRun tag set

•

Wireless Markup Language (WML)

•

Handheld Device Markup Language (HDML)

•

Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL)

•

Interactive Fiction or Framework Markup Language (IMFL), partial support

•

Real-time Markup Language (RTML), partial support

Coding tools, controls, options, wizards, color coding schemes, CodeSweepers, and 
validation support are also available for many other languages, including 
ActiveServer Pages (ASP), ActiveX, ActiveScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), 
Dynamic HTML (DHTML), JavaScript, JScript, Perl, Personal Home Page (PHP), 
Structured Query Language (SQL), VBScript, and WDDX.

H for Dreamweaver MX does not support every language, but the program 
is highly flexible and extensible. You can extend its language support with the Tag 
Definitions Library and VTML. For details, see 

“Working with tag definitions” on 

page 125

 and 

“Customizing the Development Environment” on page 197

. 

However, before you begin creating VTML files, see if someone else has already done 
the work for you. Some excellent resources include the
