Hi,

First I want to thank you for your hard work in teaching people Web website design. I have watched the first DVD of your Adobe Dreamweaver Total Training and I have learned so much from it. But I have a question about the home page of the BBC website www.bbc.com, which has a feature of dragging and dropping of the boxes and repositioning them and I was wondering what program are they designed with?

Thanks again for your works….

Shanyar

Hi Shanyar,

Thank you for the kinds words about my video. The feature you describe on the BBC site is generally created by using a technology called AJAX. AJAX is a mix of CSS and JavaScript that can be used to create interactive features, such as boxes that can be repositioned (iGoogle.com has something similar).

Although creating movable boxes is advanced, even with Dreamweaver, you will find features in Dreamweaver that you can use to create drop-down menus and collapsible panels using AJAX.

You’ll find those features covered in my Advanced Dreamweaver CS3 Video from Total Training and you’ll find free written instructions on how to use the spry features in Dreamweaver to create movable boxes, tabbed panels and other interactive features in the Dreamweaver section.

I wish you all the best with your Web design,
Janine
