JavaScript
Dreamweaver works with JavaScript in a variety of ways. In addition to using JavaScript behaviors, you can link to scripts in external .js files, edit .js files directly, and debug JavaScript code.
Adding Scripts to Documents
When you apply behaviors using
the Behaviors panel, Dreamweaver adds the JavaScript to the
<script>
tag within the
<head> tag. (All scripts used throughout a
site are listed in the Scripts category of the Assets panel.) If you
apply the same behavior twice within the same document, Dreamweaver
is smart enough not to duplicate the JavaScript code within the
<script> tag. You can even modify the
JavaScript functions by hand in Code view, provided you don’t
change a function’s name, Dreamweaver won’t overwrite
your changes even if you reapply the same behavior.

The Insert → Invisible Tags → Scripts menu command opens the Insert Script dialog box where you can enter scripts by hand. The Script button in the Objects panel’s Invisibles category opens the same dialog box. See Section 2.7.3 in Chapter 2 for more details.
Call JavaScript behavior
The Call JavaScript behavior is used to execute a line of JavaScript code. That line can include a call to a custom function or a built-in function such as window.close(). Figure 12-4 shows the exceedingly simple dialog box that lets you enter your parameters for the Call JavaScript behavior.
