Behaviors

These were particularly difficult to implement using DreamWeaver. The first, swap image, is a more sophisticated (long for complicated) form of rollover images. Using the swap image behavior on my web site I was able to add to the rollover images along the upper left side. Now, instead of just switching to the "Go Here" buttons when the mouse is moved over it, the "Get It Yourself" box gives a brief description of the site you are about to venture to as well.

I wasn't able to figure out how to use scroll bars in my text boxes through DreamWeaver (nor was Meave), but I was able to use pop-up windows instead. Now I keep only the most recent article on the homepage, and keep the older articles archived in pop-up windows under the "View Past Stories" button.

Lastly I added some sound. Unfortunately the music isn't currently working, but hopefully I'll have it up and going again soon. Music may not be particularly journalistic in nature, but it can be. Not only does it keep people entertained while they read, but songs like "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan is arguably a journalistic endeavor. I think it adds much to a web site.
