Applying built-in Dreamweaver behaviors
Using built-in behaviors
The behaviors included with Dreamweaver have been written to work in modern browsers. The behaviors fail
silently in older browsers.
Note:
The Dreamweaver actions have been carefully written to work in as many browsers as possible. If you remove code
from a Dreamweaver action by hand, or replace it with your own code, you may lose cross-browser compatibility.
Although the Dreamweaver actions were written to maximize cross-browser compatibility, some browsers do not
support JavaScript at all, and many people who browse the web keep JavaScript turned off in their browsers. For best
cross-platform results, provide alternative interfaces enclosed in
<noscript>
tags so that people without JavaScript
can use your site.
Apply the Call JavaScript behavior
The Call JavaScript behavior executes a custom function or line of JavaScript code when an event occurs. (You can
write the script yourself, or you can use code provided by various freely available JavaScript libraries on the web.)
1
Select an object and choose Call JavaScript from the Actions menu of the Behaviors panel.
