Idle
The Idle action inserts a script that monitors the browser window for a specified condition and triggers other actions,
depending on whether the condition is true or false. You can choose among four actions to be the condition: Inter­
section, KeyCompare, Timeout, and Test Variable. These are best used in the head section of the page because the
conditions are monitored automatically.

Intersection
The Intersection action is designed for use with the Idle or Condition action, which must reside in the head section
as a browser-triggered event. The Intersection condition monitors the browser window for the physical intersection
of two layers. It is true when the layers overlap in the browser window and false while they don’t. You can use the
result of this action to trigger two further actions.
This action supplements the Drag Layer action. An intersection occurs when the paths of two layers cross. The Inter­
section action may be connected, for example, with a Set BackColor action.
To set up an Intersection action, trigger the action with a browser-triggered event set to OnLoad. Choose Action >
Specials > Idle or Condition. In the Condition tab of the Actions palette, choose Action > Specials > Intersection. If
you chose Idle and want the action to terminate the first time the Timeout Intersection condition is true, select the
Exit Idle If Condition Returns True option. By activating this option, you instruct the script to monitor the browser
window for a single event.
Select the layers you want to monitor for the intersection from the two Layer pop-up menus. In the True tab, choose
the action you want to have triggered when an intersection occurs. In the False tab, choose the action to be executed
while the layers don’t overlap.
