How to keep DW active when not active?

I'm relatively new to the Mac world and the one feature that I think is vastly inferior to the PC world is how Dreamweaver (and other Adobe windows) go inactive and half of the content goes away.

the way I have to interface with my production and development servers requires that I be able to see everything thats going on in Dreamweaver. Is there anyway to keep half of DW from disappearing when I go to another application on my second monitor?

Thanks,
