With
the Server Behavior Builder, programmers can build a library of their custom
functions, complete with fully functional dialog boxes for maximum flexibility.
After these functions are crafted, you can drop any of the custom server behaviors
directly onto the page??”and, if need be, easily alter the parameters.
This chapter includes an overview of server behaviors as well as basic information
about their use and management. For your reference, you also find a
detailed description of each of the standard Dreamweaver server behaviors.
Finally, you look at ways to extend Dreamweaver??™s core functionality with the
Server Behavior Builder.

required functions and many more optional ones??”a server behavior may be as
simple as one line of code. The difference, and it??™s a key one, is that the code is
intended to be executed by the application server, not the browser.
