12.3 The Behaviors Panel
The Behaviors panel, shown in Figure 12-1, provides access to the installed behaviors.
Open it using Window Behaviors, Shift+F3, or
the Behaviors
icon in the Launcher bar.
Behaviors are generally applied to objects within your page, although
they can be applied to the
<body> tag as well. For example, you
might apply a behavior to an image to make it act as a button with a
rollover effect. Select the desired object in the Document window and
add behavior(s) using the Behaviors panel.
|
The Behaviors panel shows behaviors associated with the currently
selected object, not all behaviors used in the current document.
Available behaviors are listed under the Add
Behavior pop-up menu (the plus (+) button).

Table 12-2 describes the controls found on the
Behaviors panel.

Actions column

Lists behaviors that have been applied to the currently selected

JavaScript code). To change an action, delete the existing action and
add a different behavior instead.
