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 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 Add Behavior menu of the Behaviors panel.
2. Type the exact JavaScript to be executed, or type the name of a function.
For example, to create a Back button, you might type if (history.length > 0){history.back()}. If you have encapsulated your code in a function,
type only the function name (for example, hGoBack()).
3. Click OK and verify that the default event is correct.
Apply the Change Property behavior
