Fantastic. And? :roll:

I can't understand you. Actually, I want to say that I design a webpage like drag and drop buttons,textfields,labels etc. I can't find how to use that in DreamWeaver. If you know that please help me.

You can insert form elements by clicking on the "insert" tab, then click on the "form" option. I'm not sure if there are any drag and drop options.

I can't design a form using DreamWeaver 8. When I click on a form tag then there comes a red thin border. But I can't do nothing after that. Is it better to design using code?

The red thin border is Dreamweaver's way to signify the form area. You put all your form elements inside of this by selecting inside the form area then adding the form element as I explained earlier.

I wouldn't do it any other way. HTML generators, including Dreamweaver, are capable of creating some pretty crappy and often invalid html markup.
