Question

Using CSS variables

Hi,

 

Does the most recent release of Dreamweaver work with CSS variables? I am using an earlier version, and the coding always gets flagged. The most recent post regarding this issue is 5 years old.

 

Thanks.

 

Mark

Hi Nancy, 

 

Thanks for the link. The list keeps getting longer and longer. 

 

I'll stick with Dreamweaver for as long as possible. It's what I know, and the PVII plug-ins make everything so simple. I'll probably wait until I have no choice before migrating over to another program or option.

 

Thanks.

It still doesn't recognize them fully and likely never will.

DW is now in a minimum development mode. Adobe only plans OS compatibility updates, security patches, and third party library updates (though they are lagging badly on the last one).

OK, thanks. We're nearing the end, aren't we?

We've been nearing the end for a few years now. I guess it's a case of when to jump ship before it sinks, taking you with it. By that l mean if its starting to impact on you personally as a professional  web developer because it lacks certain features that other editors, which are still being actively developed, feature it's time to consider your position. On the other hand if its not impacting on your ability to get the job done and you don't consider yourself a professional then there's no reason to panic. DW even when Adobe call end of life is likely to be usable for a few more years if you don't regularly update your OS.
