Do you ever want to make some of the code invisible so you can see more code on the screen at once? Say there's a bunch of text you don't want to see. Can I make a block of code invisible in Dreamweaver? I don't want to delete it, just want to make it temporarily invisible.
I'm using DW MX ver 6.

i dont think you can do that with dreamweaver. But i got macromedia 8 and you can like select a section of code then hit a - box on the side which would collapse that section. Think you have to upgrade to 8 buddy if you want that select feature.

Darn. It seemed like such a basic feature that I assumed it was there and I just couldn't see it.

Actually, you could've used Snippets.

No, as I understand snippets, they "let you store content for quick reuse". That's right out of DW's Help. If you've got some code or object or something that you use a lot you can use snippets.
I was only looking for a way to temporarily make portions of of an html page code (which would include text that is displayed on the page) collapse or be invisible for the purpose of making it easier to see what is going on in the page.

I have dreamweaver 8, and yes it does code collapse blocks of code you choose, but i have been eyeballing Eclipse, and it auto collapses the methods when you open a document. Does anyone know if its possible to extend dreamweaver to do this for functions(), perhaps in classes.
