Beyond the Browser


Adobe GoLive® provides a complete set of prebuilt JavaScript actions. You can control how actions are triggered when assigning them in the Actions palette. These events may be browser-triggered, such as loading a page, or user-triggered, such as moving the pointer over an image. Actions also can be triggered by a point in time in a timeline sequence. To facilitate setting up actions, the Actions tab displays the selected item at the bottom (to ensure that you’re working with the right tag), and the Action menu displays recently applied actions at the top (for quick selection). You can see some examples of JavaScript actions at work on our What Is JavaScript? page.

You should always preview actions in a variety of web browsers and platforms to determine potential browser differences or incompatibilities. The earliest browser versions that support each action are displayed next to the selected action name in the Actions palette.

In addition to the actions that are included with GoLive, there are many more actions available that will add even more functionality to GoLive. Below are some links to sites that have many more actions; some are free, and some are for sale.
