Extending Dreamweaver Part VII
A command can have a parameter form or not, depending on how the command is written. Generally, commands
are listed in the Commands menu, but by altering the menus.xml file (as discussed in the
???Adjusting the menus.xml file??? section later in this chapter), you can cause any command to appear as part
of any other menu??”or to not appear at all. Because one command can call another, such hidden commands
are more easily modified.
My original vision of a macro recorder came true with the commands Start Recording and Play Recorded
Command. Now, any onscreen action can be instantly logged and replayed??”and through the History
panel, even converted into a permanent, repeatable command.
So how, specifically, are commands being used? The following list describes some of the commands that
have been built by Web designers outside Adobe:
n Tag Stripper: Removes all instances of any tag from a Web page. By Massimo Foti.
n Breadcrumbs: Automatically adds navigation elements on a page. By Paul Davis.
n Borderless Frames: Sets all frames in a frameset to no borders. By Massimo Foti.
n Add Old Browser Message: Inserts a message that can be seen only by browsers that do not support
the W3C DOM.
