Welcome to ALAPI Behaviors Kit
This document describes how to get started quickly. There are also several
online resources you may find useful in working with ALAPI and Dreamweaver:
The ALAPI objects will make your web pages richer and more interactive.
Included in this Dreamweaver package, are:
- 10 different behaviors and behavior sets. The ALAPI behaviors are located
in the /configuration/behaviors/actions/alapi folder.A behavior set
is a group of related behaviors.
- 10 different ALAPI script libraries located inside the alapi-lib inside
of the Dreamweaver root
- Help- and example files located in the /help/alapi folder and
on the root level of the CD
- Images and the ALAPI-logo located in the alapi-art folder.
The help files includes:
- description of the ALAPI behaviors
- Step by step guide to implement the ALAPI behaviors with Dreamweaver
- Examples of ALAPI behaviors made with Dreamweaver

The ALAPI Objects only work for Internet Explorer 4.0 and Netscape 4.0.
To make your pages compatible with earlier browsers, put a browser check
script in the head which can load another page if an earlier browser is
detected. The Dreamweaver
Developer's Center will soon offer a behavior that will perform browser
detection.
Note: IE4 for the Mac OS does not currently support the property "clip"
in the <div> tag.
This may cause the layout
of some objects to appear corrupted.
-
Note it is neccessary to insert the ALAPI javascript files included inside
the alapi-lib folder in your Dreamweaver root. There is one ALAPI js-file
for each of the ALAPI behaviors.
- Copy your ALAPI javascript files to your working folder and attach
it to your document.
Example : <script src="object_URL.js"></script>
- You can use the ALAPI panel in the Object palette or the Insert Menu
to insert ALAPI javascript-files to your document.
- To make your page and scripts more stable, Place the ALAPI javascript-files
inside the header- or in the beginning of the body-tag to avoid an unstable
page.
