Customizing Dreamweaver 529
Customizing the appearance of
dialog boxes
The dialog box layouts for objects, commands, and behaviors are specified as
HTML forms; they reside in HTML files in the Configuration folder within the
Dreamweaver application directory. You edit those forms just as you would edit
any form in Dreamweaver; see “Creating Forms” on page 481.)
To change the appearance of a dialog box:
1
Find the appropriate .htm file in Configuration/Objects, Configuration/
Commands, or Configuration/Behaviors.
2
Make a copy of the file, somewhere other than the Configuration folder.
3
Open the copy in Dreamweaver, edit the form, and save it.
4
Quit Dreamweaver.
5
Copy the changed file back to the Configuration folder, in place of the original.
(It’s a good idea to first make a backup of the original, so you can restore it later
if you need to.)
6
Start Dreamweaver again to see the changes.
You should change only the appearance of the dialog box, not how it works; it
still must contain the same types of form elements with the same names, so
that the information Dreamweaver obtains from the dialog box can still be used
in the same way.
For example, the Comment object takes text input from a text area in a dialog
box, then uses a simple JavaScript function to turn that text into an HTML
comment and insert the comment into your document. The form that describes
the dialog box is in Configuration/Objects/Invisibles/Comment.htm. You can
open that file and change the size and other attributes of the text area, but if you
remove the
textarea
tag entirely, or change the value of its
name
attribute, the
Comment object will no longer work properly.
