Configuring the internal browser
You can use the internal browser to browse documents and application pages from
within HomeSite+ for Dreamweaver MX.
With a server mapping, you can also preview server-side processes in your page; for
example, server-side includes, results from submitting a form to a CGI program, and
the results of server-side code. For more information, see “About server mappings”
on page 20.
You can also use the Browse toolbar to view pages in external browsers, test the page
in different screen resolutions, and more. For more information, see “A b o u t t h e
Browse tab” on page 29.
