I actually have two questions. Is the DWT the same as extensions? If I want to create dynamic web pages is the cost of the toolkit worth it. It appears to cost almost as much as DW.

Thanks

Specifically the dynamic lists and Nextio Forms. Therefore, CS4 is of little value to me without that capability and I heard that the Developer Toolbox has that in it

ADDT has the same dynamic list and forms which MX Kollection had -- it´s just not called "Nextensio" any more

Excellent! Now I just have to wait and see what "early 2009" means.

The ADDT forum is here:

You can ask the users what they think about it.

FWIW: Dreamweaver has a decent bit of dynamic coding capability built in. Depending on how complex you want your applications to be. Take a read through the docs, in particular the "Making pages dynamic" and "Building applications visually" sections:

Also, If you choose to go commercial, you may want to take a look at WebAssist's dynamic extension options:

yes, the Adobe Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox (ADDT) is an extension for DW CS3 (will bee made compatible with DW CS4 in early 2009). In order to get an unbiased impression, I suggest to download the trial version and evaluate if it meets your requirements.

Does anyone know what "compatible with CS4 in early 2009" means? I currently use MX 2004 and was thinking about upgrading to CS4. However, I make extensive use of the olf InterAKT extensions. Specifically the dynamic lists and Nextio Forms. Therefore, CS4 is of little value to me without that capability and I heard that the Developer Toolbox has that in it.

Thanks
