Creative Suite 4 Integration (2:45–3:45)
While discovering additional CSS tools in Dreamweaver CS4, you’ll use Adobe Bridge to incorporate design and video content from Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks and Flash into your site. You’ll also explore the option to export XHTML content from InDesign into your CSS-based layout in Dreamweaver.
CSS, The Next Level (4:00–5:00)
Now that you can create and edit your CSS-based site in Dreamweaver CS4, you’ll build on your new skills by previewing some of the web’s coolest current technology trends, including Spry navigation menus, Spry widgets, buttons, rollovers, and more.
