    Hi Gman,

    in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/582456 mhollis55 said, that creating a site map is taken away from CS4. In my CS5 I couldn't find these functions neither, I found this feature in my old CS3(!) however. Here are some links where you can create a site map:

    Try this Free Dreamweaver (exchange) extension called Ordinary Site Map.

    Once the extension is added (installed thru Extension Manager) it will generate a site map html page page with sitewide html doc file names and links in CSS formatting.

    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1289018

    It is simple to use and works with Dreamweaver CS5.5

    You may want to change the doc file names to each specific page summary name. Ex. "index.htm" to "Home Page", etc. But not much more work is needed.

    *Also you may have to do a "find and replace" in the document to change the source code ":" to "/" for the links to work after putting the page to the server.

    Hi Gman,

    you are very welcome, thanks!

    You're right! It is a pity that DrW has recently renounced the possibility of automatically generating a site map (thanks for your links, I like these pages). Our thread reminds me to this and therefore I'll qoute David Powers' recommendation:

    If you have any suggestions about how Dreamweaver could be improved, submit your ideas through the official form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

    Ok, let's try it, all the best to and good luck!
