Menu commands

Menu commands make menus more flexible and dynamic. As with regular commands, menu commands can
perform almost any kind of edit to the current document, other open documents, or any HTML document on a local
drive. The menu commands API expands the regular commands API to accomplish several tasks that are related to
displaying and calling the command from the menu system.
Menu commands are HTML files that are referenced in the
The body section of a menu commands 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 menu commands file contains
JavaScript functions that process form input from the body section and control the edits to the user's document.
Menu commands are stored in the Configuration/Menus folder inside the Dreamweaver application folder.
The following table lists the files you use to create a menu command.
