Designing and Implementing a Spry menu with Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS3

April 17, 2008

With the release of the Spry framework and its integration into Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, it’s now very easy to rapidly develop Ajax-powered web pages.

In this article written exclusively for Adobe I’ll demonstrate how to insert a Spry menu bar into an existing HTML document, design and export a new skin in Adobe Fireworks CS3, and implement this skin into the Spry menu bar using CSS.

After completing this sample project you will have learned a variety of skills for both Fireworks and Dreamweaver, how to write CSS, and best practice techniques to create an accessible menu system that also supports text resizing in the browser.
