Hi,
I am reading your Jquery mobile book and there is a reference in the book to http://mobilexweb.com/go/dwjqm describing how to update dreamweaver with the latest jquery js and css. anyway you can provide the instructions for this that will allow dreamweaver to recognize the new jquery attributes.
Thanks for the report! I’ll check the link. In the meantime this is the long URL: http://blog.assortedgarbage.com/2011/05/updating-jquery-in-dreamweaver-cs5-5/
