Actions overview
About actions
Adobe GoLive provides a complete set of pre-built actions —scripts triggered by events. These events may be
browser-triggered, such as loading a page, or user-triggered, such as moving the pointer over an image. Actions also
can be triggered by a point in time in a timeline sequence. To facilitate setting up actions, the Actions tab displays
the selected item at the bottom (to ensure that you’re working with the right tag), and the Action menu displays
recently applied actions at the top (for quick selection).
You should always preview actions in a variety of web browsers and platforms to determine potential browser differ­
ences or incompatibilities. The earliest browser versions that support each action are displayed next to the selected
action name in the Actions palette.
