          Not to fear if you don't have Dw CS5 yet.  Then just click the "Save Widget Files" button after adding the widgets to "My Widgets" then give it a name of an html file to create in your site.  The Widget Browser will create a sample html file with the links to any external javascript and css files which it will save relative to the html file.

           

          If you want to insert it into an existing page in your site you could copy paste the code from the sample html page to the desired page and then fix up the links to external files.

            Widget Browser can also be used as standalone. What CS5 is offering is direct integration with Widget Browser. With older version of Dreamweaver you need to use the widget browser to export the files and open them manually. With CS5 you can just import the widgets in your document. No extra steps required.

                To save the files for a widget do the following:

                 

                1. From the Adobe Exchange find a widget you want to use and click on "Add to My Widgets"
                2. Click on the "My Widgets" tab or follow the "Go to My Widgets" button in the dialog after step #1
                3. Select the Widget you just added to "My Widgets"
                4. Click "Save Widget Files"
                5. Specify a folder anywhere on your machine or in an existing site to save the widget and click Ok
                6. A dialog will show up with the name of the .html file you can click on Preview in Browser to see the widget in your default browser

                 

                Hope that helps,
