Developing a Web Site with the Ektron CMS400.NET Content Management Solution and Dreamweaver Extension

Ektron's line of Web authoring tools and Web content management solutions have evolved over the years becoming the ideal choice for organizations who want their everyday business users to manage content on their Web site.  Ektron continues to rise to the demands of the marketplace by making Web content management more powerful and robust, yet keeping the process easy-to-use.

DHTML Menus

Ektron CMS can generate code required for a very slick DHTML menu.  Components of the menu (i.e. what are the items to be displayed) are added and managed via the Ektron CMS400.NET Workarea. 

Once the menu has been constructed, a Dreamweaver Developer can insert the DHTML Menu command into the template simply by clicking and specifying the id of the menu as well as some other customizable fields (Figure 12).

Once an Ektron DHTML Menu has been added to your template, the necessary code is automatically generated and an image represents where the DHTML menu button is displayed (Figure 13).

Putting it all Together

With all elements added to the template, the template can be saved and viewed in a Web browser (Figure 14).
