A behavior is a JavaScript element that makes objects interactive without scripting. A behavior is a combination of events and actions. When creating a behavior, you specify an event that triggers an action. You can associate several actions with a single event.

You can open the file created in this ShowMe movie from a browser, or you can open it in Dreamweaver by choosing Help > Open Example and selecting !behavior_example.htm.
You can specify more than one event to trigger a behavior, and more than one action for each event. Dreamweaver includes several predefined behavior actions. You can add your own behavior actions if you are proficient with JavaScript. You can also download new behavior actions from the Dreamweaver web site.
