One of the easiest ways to start an action file is to adapt one that is already built. You can
open and modify any of the existing Dreamweaver standard action files, as long as you remember
to use the File ??? Save As feature command to give the file a new name.
Behaviors and other extensions can include external JavaScript files through the
language=???javascript??? src=???script.js???> construct. All the Dreamweaver behaviors
take advantage of this facility. Its key benefit is to enable easy sharing of JavaScript code among different
functions. Although you can still combine the user interface and JavaScript aspects of a behavior in one file,
the standard practice is to store the parameter form instructions in the HTML file, such as Play
Sound.htm, and the JavaScript in a JS file with an identical name, such as Play Sound.js. You can link
to an external JavaScript file to make commonly used functions accessible in the script.
Here are the steps to follow in the initial behavior-creation phase:
1. Choose File ??? New to open a new HTML file.
