Open Alert Window

The Open Alert Window action lets you open an alert dialog box with a custom text message to alert the viewer to some problem--for example, a preferred browser version for viewing a page.

To set up an Open Alert Window action in the TimeLine Editor or attach it to an image, a rollover button, hyperlink text, or form element in the Layout view:

1 Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the Actions Track of the TimeLine Editor to insert an action marker, or select a mouse or key event and click the + button in the Actions palette.

2 Choose Open Alert Window from the Message submenu of the Action menu in the Actions palette.

3 Click the small icon next to the Message option to specify the source that should supply the HTML, or type the message to be displayed in the window.

4 Preview the action in a 4.0 browser.
