TIP 250: DJ Design Actions

Cost: Free

Dave Jones at DJ Design packages all 20 of his free actions together in one Zip file so users can download them all and use the ones they want. Some of his actions offer general-purpose features, such as printing pages (Figure 250) and custom window opening, as well as some very advanced JavaScript variable and code snippet actions.

Figure 250. The Print Page action is helpful and easy to use.

All 20 actions are useful, but here are a few of our favorites:

• AutoFrameset and IntoFrameset: Use these two actions together to force a page into a frameset. This is useful when a page is linked via a search engine, because the search engines tend to index the individual pages, without the frameset.

• PrintPage: Prints the current page, even if it's a frames page.

• Current Date: Displays the current date on the page. You can even customize the font, size, and color of the type or apply a CSS class style.

• Open Window 1.2: This action is based on the original GoLive Open Window action and adds a new checkbox to force the new window to fill the entire screen. It also leaves all the checkboxes unchecked by default, because most people seem to prefer that in their new windows.
