Enter parameters for the action, and click OK.
All actions provided in Dreamweaver work in 4.0 and later browsers. Some
actions do not work in older browsers. See “Using the behavior actions that
come with Dreamweaver” on page 444.

The default event to trigger the action appears in the Events column. If this
is not the trigger event you want, choose another event from the Events
pop-up menu. (To open the Events pop-up menu, select an event or action in
the Behaviors panel, and click the downward-pointing black arrow that appears
between the event name and the action name.)
Different events appear in the Events pop-up menu depending on the selected
object and on the browsers specified in the Show Events For submenu. Events
may be dimmed if the relevant objects do not yet exist on the page or if the
selected object cannot receive events. If the expected events don’t appear, make
sure the correct object is selected, or change the target browsers in the Show
Events For pop-up menu.
If you’re attaching a behavior to an image, some events (such as
onMouseOver
)
appear in parentheses. These events are available only for links. When you
choose one of them, Dreamweaver wraps an
a
tag around the image to define a
null link. The null link is represented by
javascript:;
in the Property
inspector’s Link box. You can change the link value if you want to turn it into a
real link to another page, but if you delete the JavaScript link without replacing
it with another link, you will remove the behavior.
