4. About the Spry Framework
Spry is a JavaScript library in Dreamweaver CS4 that allows Web designers to build pages offering interesting interactive options.
Using the Spry framework, you can add interactive or dynamic tables to a Web page that draw data from XML sources; insert Spry widgets such as menu bars, collapsible panels, or form fields with built-in validation; or apply Spry effects such as Appear/Fade or Highlight to give page content extra emphasis.
A widget is identified in Dreamweaver by a blue tabbed outline. Click the tab to modify or set properties for the widget.
The first time you save a page after adding a Spry widget (or any other Spry element), Dreamweaver prompts you to copy the files required for the element to your site.
Modify the Spry selected in the Properties Panel.
