Creating Interactive Web Pages in Dreamweaver CS4

Course details

Adding interactivity to web pages enhances the functionality and overall appeal of a site. Dreamweaver CS4 allows developers to increase web site interactivity by using forms and behaviors. The application also includes the Spry framework for Ajax, allowing Dreamweaver users with no advanced programming knowledge to quickly and easily visually design and deploy interactive interfaces, including visual transitions. This course provides an overview of form creation and customization, and form data processing. Also covered are Spry widgets and effects, and creating and editing behaviors to build such features as rollover images and jump menus.
