Attaching behaviors to links

You can attach a behavior to any link in a document. Consider using the following behaviors when inserting linked elements into your documents. For more information, see Attaching a behavior.

Set Text of Status Bar determines the text of a message and displays it in the status bar at the bottom left of the browser window. For example, you can use this action to describe the destination of a link in the status bar instead of showing the URL associated with it. See Set Text of Status Bar.

Open Browser Window is used to open a URL in a new window. You can specify the properties of the new window, including its size, attributes (whether it is resizable, has a menu bar, and so on), and name. See Open Browser Window.

Jump Menu is used to edit a jump menu. You can change the menu list, specify a different linked file, or change the browser location in which the linked document opens. See Jump Menu.

Set Nav Bar Image lets you change how a navigation bar behaves. Use this behavior to customize how the images in a navigation bar display. For example, when the pointer is over part of the navigation bar, the display of other images in the navigation bar or in the document change. See Set Nav Bar Image.
