Overview/Description
Adding interactivity to web pages enhances the functionality and overall appeal of a site. Dreamweaver CS3 allows developers to increase web site interactivity by using forms and behaviors, and enables users to organize site components into layers. 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, rollover images, jump menus, and layers.

Target Audience
The audience will be a range of in-training or established IT professionals needing to learn how to use Dreamweaver without any experience of any version of Dreamweaver. Students can be expected to have basic computing and word-processing skills, familiarity with web terminology and Internet navigation, and experience working in a Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh environment. Students should also be familiar with HTML, XML and JavaScript. Students will be taking the courses to acquire job skills, and to prepare for Dreamweaver CS3 Developer certification.
