The one thing that Macromedia HomeSite users are probably most excited about in Dreamweaver MX is the new integrated workspace—there are no more floating windows. In the integrated workspace, all Document windows and panels are integrated into one larger application window.

In this new Dreamweaver MX workspace, Windows users have the option to view panels on the left side of the window to make it resemble the HomeSite workspace. Code view is the default for this workspace mode.

Note: If you did not choose the HomeSite/Coder style of the Dreamweaver MX workspace the first time you started Dreamweaver MX, you can switch to the integrated workspace at any time. See Switching to the Dreamweaver MX workspace.

It's easy to see how similar the Dreamweaver workspace is to the HomeSite workspace.

Here is how the terminology for the Dreamweaver integrated workspace compares to terminology for the HomeSite workspace:
