Behaviors and Templates in Dreamweaver
This week in class we covered the following topics:
In Dreamweaver:
- Behaviors apply to elements such as links or images
- Window > Behaviors - Show Pop-up menu
- Always use the alt attribute in dialogs
- About the target attribute
- Template updating process:
- Create new template or save page as template
- Modify template, save
- Yes to update template instances
- Save any open template instance
- Preview template instance
- Think of template as your digital type-stamp. You'll still need to update/save/put your stamped copy
Regarding maintenance:
- Resizing images - use Fireworks, or skip the whole process and use ImageMagick on the server
- See Gallery.menalto.com
Regarding Flash:
Regarding Design:
- Page-reload flash issue - be careful, some users may expect it
Homework:
Create and publish a site design with two or more JavaScript Behaviors in it using Dreamweaver. Email URL to the class list.

use simple HTML for web links
<a href="http://URL">link text</a>
<a href="http://URL">link text</a>
URL? email? spam?
If you enter a URL for yourself, then your comment will have your name listed as a link to a web site. If you enter only an email address, then your name will be linked to your email address. This page uses Movable Type's "Spam Protect" feature which means that your email address is encoded in a way to keep spammers from picking it up while trolling the web. People can still email you individually from your comment, myself included!
