Adding interactivity to web pages enhances the functionality and overall appeal of a site. Dreamweaver CS5 allows developers to increase web site interactivity by using forms and behaviors.

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.
