4 Save the extension package in the Dreamweaver MX\Downloaded Extensions folder of your
installed Dreamweaver folder.
5 In the Extension Manager, select File > Install Extension. In Dreamweaver, select Commands >
Manage Extensions to launch the Extension Manager.
The Extension Manager automatically installs the extension from the Downloaded Extension
folder into Dreamweaver.
Some extensions need Dreamweaver to restart before you can use them. If you are running
Dreamweaver when you install the extension, you might be prompted to quit and restart
the application.
To view basic information on the extension after its installation, go to the Extension Manager
(Commands > Manage Extensions) in Dreamweaver.

Conventions used in this guide

• Code font indicates code fragments and API literals, including class names, method names,
function names, type names, scripts, SQL statements, and both HTML and XML tag and
attribute names.
• Italic code font indicates replaceable items in code.
• The continuation symbol (¬) indicates that a long line of code has been broken across two or
more lines. Due to margin limits in this book’s format, what is otherwise a continuous line of

type the lines as one line.
• Curly braces ({ }) surrounding a function argument indicate that the argument is optional.
The following naming conventions are used in this guide:
• You—the developer who is responsible for writing extensions.
