Adobe GoLive CS2: Official JavaScript Reference

Written by the engineers and scripting experts at Adobe–and now available for the first time in print–this book is an essential reference guide for developers who want to extend the capabilities of Adobe GoLive CS2 using JavaScript and the special markup tags that the GoLive CS2 SDK (Software Developer’s Kit) provides. If you’re familiar with GoLive, JavaScript, and C and C++ programming, you’ll find the information you need to create custom tools and extensions tailored to your specific GoLive tasks. For example, you can create floating palettes and task-specific dialogs that include text, graphics, and controls; add custom HTML elements that can be edited in an Inspector palette; add new controls to the Objects palette–anything that helps streamline your company’s GoLive workflow. And since nearly all of the user commands in GoLive are made available in JavaScript, you can use JavaScript to automate repetitive tasks—for example, editing all the documents on your Web site automatically, or customizing menu items in GoLive according to the contents of a specific database. These are just a few of the ways that scripting can save you from hours of time-consuming tasks in GoLive.
