Creating and validating forms
This week we learned about building interactivity into our web sites. Dreamweaver has several tools for this purpose. Spry is Adobe's Ajax library. One of the nice things about Spry and behaviors, is its ability to be expanded through Dreamweaver Extensions.
Review and Analysis of web pages
After reviewing my web pages, I decided that I could use some of the Spry and behavior elements to increase user interactivity. Below is a list of some of the changes that were made this week. Follow the links for more information about each element.
JavaScript roller buttons at the bottom of the page
Spry vertical menu in the sidebar for all the pages
Inserted a "Back" button that I got from DW extensions
Set text for text field in my "Signup" form
Form validation using Spry
Password validation and conformation using Spry
Used javaScript to pass the users first name to the process page
