Dreamweaver - New Spry Widgets Browser

New Release from Adobe...

From the Widget Browser web page...

With the Widget Browser, you can:

  • Preview and download all of the OpenAjax widgets available on the Adobe Exchange
  • Add widgets to Adobe Dreamweaver so that you can easily insert them in your web pages
  • Export and package widgets for use in any other HTML editing tool

 

To make this work you'll need to Register with Adobe and install Adobe AIR.

This link will take you to Adobe's "Air" web page...

This link takes you to the Widget Browser Page

If you get Dreamweaver CS5 the widgets will be available from inside Dreamweaver  in the "Insert" Menu & Panel.

But you still can use the widgets in any Version of Dreamweaver or OTHER web Editor!

When you start up the widget browser you'll see all of the widges available from the Adobe Exchange.... You have to download and install them... For now most of them are free, but more sofisticated ones in the future will have a price tag on them.

On Monday there were 13 widgets, there are now 18!

The Exchange view looks like this

After you download a widget you can preview and edit a widget right in the

Widget Browser. It'll look like this...

Save the files to a folder and then add them to your web editor of choice!
