Spry Widgets
According to the adobe website, "Spry Widgets are pieces of HTML, CSS and Javascript that provide advanced functionality to web pages."
Here are some examples of Spry Widgets:
Another example of a very common used Spry is the menu bar in this website. If you look at the source code for this page, you will see that the menu is nothing more than a bunch of list items that were auto-generated by Dreamweaver. Iou can create a Spry Menu Bar in Dreamweaver by going to Insert -> Spry -> Spry Menu Bar.
Dreamweaver will then create, in the root of your website, a folder called SpryAssets containing a few .gif, .css, and .js files that you can open and edit to your preferences.
You can also use Dreamweaver's property panel to manipulate the Menu Bar in a more simple form. The image below shows the properties panel.
