Chapter 4. User Interfaces for Extensions

Most extensions are built to receive information from the user through a user interface (UI). For example, if you create a Property inspector extension for the marquee tag, you need to create a way for the user to specify attributes like direction and height. If you plan to submit your extension for Macromedia certification, you need to follow the guidelines that are available within the Extension Manager files on the Macromedia Exchange website (www.macromedia.com/exchange). These guidelines are not intended to limit your creativity. Their purpose is to ensure that certified extensions work effectively within the Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 UI and that the extension UI design does not detract from its functionality.
