How the server behavior API functions are called

The server behavior API functions are called in the following scenarios:

Record behavior has two participants: a link object and a recordset object. Rather than finding the recordset object
in its
findServerBehaviors()
runs because the recordset finds all instances of itself.
When the Move To Next Record behavior's
contains all the server behavior objects in the document. The function can look through the array for its recordset
object.
Sometimes, during analysis, a single tag in the user's document is identified by two or more behaviors as being an
instance of that behavior. For example, the

document. At the same time, the

• When the user clicks the Plus (+) button in the Server Behaviors panel, the pop-up menu appears.
To determine the content of the menu, Dreamweaver first looks for a ServerBehaviors.xml file in the same folder as
the behaviors. ServerBehaviors.xml references the HTML files that should appear in the menu.
If the referenced HTML file contains a title tag, the contents of the title tag appear in the menu. For example, if the
ServerBehaviors/ASP_Js/ GetRecords.htm file contains the tag
More Records appears in the menu.
If the file does not contain a title tag, the filename appears in the menu. For example, if GetRecords.htm does not
contain a title tag, the text GetRecords appears in the menu.
If there is no ServerBehaviors.xml file or the folder contains one or more HTML files that are not mentioned in
ServerBehaviors.xml, Dreamweaver checks each file for a title tag and uses the title tag or filename to populate the
menu.
