Chapter 7. Commands

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 commands can perform almost any kind of edit to a user's current document, other open documents, or any HTML document on a local drive. Commands can insert, remove, or rearrange HTML tags and attributes, comments, and text.

Commands are HTML files. The BODY section of a command file can contain an HTML form that accepts options for the command (for example, how a table should be sorted and by which column). The HEAD section of a command file contains JavaScript functions that process form input from the BODY section and control what edits are made to the user's document.

The following table lists the files you use to create a command:

Path	File	Description
Configuration/Commands/	commandname.htm	Specifies the user interface.
Configuration/Commands/	commandname.js	Contains the functions to execute.
