How to create a Tabbed menu in Dreamweaver using Creative DW Tabbed Menu extension

In this tutorial we’re going to configure Creative DW Tabbed Menu by configuring each tab step by step. We will go through:

- the General tab;
- the Layout tab;
- the Animation tab;
- the Text tab.

Finally, we’ll obtain an „.html” file which will contain our result – a Tabbed menu. I’m going to show you how the menu looks like after every step and as well a final version of it; like this, you’ll get a glimpse of the menu’s high customizability. In order to be able to do this tutorial, the first thing you have to do is install Creative DW Dropdown Menus extension on your computer; if you encounter any problems doing that, check out the “How to install an extension” tutorial. Another important thing you should consider is the creation of a website in Dreamweaver before you start the work; “How to create a website” can help you if any problems occur. (more…)

InBrowser Editing: Dreamweaver menu extension directly in your browser

Not sure about you but I always hated to upload files and check changes with F12 when working with any Dreamweaver extension. To make things even worse, if you don’t know what files an extension works with, you have to upload all site files! Change a border? Update from the extension interface, upload the files, press F12 to see if this realy does what you need it to do. Annoying!

Well, I may say I finally got what I wanted! Being extensions developers ourselves we always knew we should do something about it. And we have invested InBrowse Editing for our latest Dreamweaver menu extension: FlexiMenuJS. Let me say how it works, it’s quite fantastic.  Basically what happens is that you can use FlexiMenuJS like a regular Dreamweaver extension – doing everything from the Dreamweaver interfaces:

Then, we thought: what if you could use your browser to make all the menu changes and see them live without saving? Great! That’s how the InBrowser Editing appeared. See for yourself, I’m still under heavy jubilation:
