Downloads
This page contains some free scripts and Dreamweaver extensions that you might like to use. Most of these have information files with them, but there is also a forum for every item on the list, in our forums section, so that you can give feed back and ask questions. We have also included our award winning trilogy of tutorials, from the DMXZone community site.
Dreamweaver Extensions
Unless otherwise stated, these extensions will work with Dreamweaver MX 2004.
Alternate Row Colors
If you have made a dynamic table, to display data from a database table, using a Repeat Region server behavior, this suite of extensions enables you to define alternate row colors, in a thoroughly standards-compliant manner. A second extension allows a third color to be defined as a JavaScript mouseover.
The extensions work with ColdFusion, PHP/MySQL, PHP/ADODB (PhAKT), ASP3 (VBScript) and ASP3 (JavaScript).
In order to learn how to use this extension, I recommend subscribing to DMXTutorials.com, and viewing their excellent Flash tutorial on using this extension, and many others. DMXTutorials.com provide this service for a very reasonable one-off fee of US$19.99, which gives lifetime access to all their tutorials.

Lorem Ipsum
A silly little extension, this is! It adds an object to your common objects. This object inserts anything up to 5 paragraphs of boiler-plate lorem ipsum text, as produced by www.lipsum.com

Scripts
ttMail.asp
This is version 2 of the script. A couple of issues seem to have arisen with it, but it is probably worth your while downloading it and checking the code. I haven't had chance yet. I've been working on a self-writing script as a Dreamweaver Extension.

Don't forget, there is a forum for every one of these downloads, in case you need to ask question. All downloads are open source and free of charge, so they come with absolutely no warranty, and you install them at your own risk! (Just a legal get out clause).
Tutorials
Here are links to the award winning tutorials on setting up a Windows computer to create Apache/PHP/MySQL applications with Dreamweaver MX and MX2004. There are also forums for discussing each of these tutorials.
- Configuring Apache and PHP for Windows
- Installing MySQL4 for Windows
- Using DBManager to Configure MySQL
- Configuring a Dreamweaver MX site with phAkt and Firebird
These tutorials are all in PDF format, and you will need the (free) Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view them. Many users find they already have this software.
Music
Just for fun, here's an mp3 of a setting of the hymn "When this passing world", by Robert Murray M'Cheyne. I wrote the music.
And this one, I wrote words and music. It's called:
