Misc Actions:

Actions that may not be fully developed (read as made 'fool-proof'), but fulfill a specific niche in the design process. Many of them are modified version of other's actions. Full credit goes to the original authors of these actions or their source script. Please share any action ideas or improvements that you may have.
 

To Action Developers: Many if not all of these Actions are encoded for use with FW4exp. If you would like the source files for personal development/modification, please email me with your inquiry.

Master Actions 1.0 (2.68 K) - (v1.0 8/8/07)

Details:

Allows connection to be solid between Page Actions on Master Pages and those on Daughter Pages. Links can themselves be controlled by the Master, or indivisually on each page. User can set the Action to universally copy all available Action settings to Daughter, or selectively choose which Actions to connect.

Remove Div Tag (encoded for FW4Exp) (390 Bytes) - Remove Div Tag (unencoded for those that want to tinker) (694 Bytes) - (v1.0 8/8/07)

Details:

Completely removes a <div> container tag. The content is left in place. (This is in response to a specific user request)

<div>

   <span>...</span>

</div>

...becomes...

<span>...</span> (no div container).

Multiple Forms 1.0 (1.27 K) - (v1.0 5/10/07)

Details:

Allows addition of <form> tags and related alements to any 'container' in FW: tables, table-cells, html items (both layered and unlayered)

This is based from, Paul's original Table Multipe Form Action, but is independant and separate. This will not replace Paul's Action, as they are named differently. The scope has increased, as well as the Action coding, to include all the same options that are present in FW's own page-level Form Dialog (hidden fields, extended attributes)

onLoad Mover 1.0 (780 Bytes) - (v1.0 1/20/07)

Details:

Both Folder and Page-Level included. Moves any found <body onload="XXX"> events to a JS call in the head of the document. This helps with JS functions being superceded by this explicit call. This Action itself will not overwrite existing JS window.onload event calls, but supplements them. Uses JS info found at:
http://onlinetools.org/articles/unobtrusivejavascript/chapter4.html

Remove Div Style 1.1.1 (956 Bytes) - (v1.1.1 1/12/07)

Details:

Removes inline style attributes from <div> tags. Optionally add them back to the page as a CSS class.

Form Fieldset (1.71 K) - (v1.0.2 4/30/07)

Details:

Converts inline HTML items into fieldsets. Option for Legend and Legend Class. 'Align' included optionally although deprecated in future HTML revisions.
*fixed minor issue of 'align' attribute outputting with title-case value.

DIV BG (8.30 K) - (v1.4 update 06/29/06)

Details:

Apply background image to an HTML item (Based off table cell background action by Paul Dunning) Added option for Beta Fix for MS png file problems. Added BG alignment and repeat options.

V1.4 Adds cleaned up CSS output with conditional for IE instead of CSS hack.

Output from this Action does not function in IE for Mac (IE Mac's limitation).
LAYER SAMPLE PAGE

External Javascript FW4 (3.07 K) -

Details:

Temporarily updated version for FW4 from that found at softpress.com. Current version on softpress.com includes a small typo and discriminates against certain text files.

Collapse Layer Table FW4 (1.39 K) - (1.0 9/20/06)

Details:

Allows collapsing of 'layer' table items. Designed primarily for 'Layer' Table items in FW4pro to mimic non-layered tables' 'height can shrink' and 'width can grow' options. Also works for inline tables. Action encoded for use in FW4exp, but not tested nor is functionality FW4exp known.
Please contact me for source code if you want it.
TABLE SAMPLE PAGE

Wedge Layer (9.11 K) - (v0.9 update 4/18/06)

Details:

Based on SP's Scroll Layer action, but simplified slightly and allows operation without needing separate buttons to control scrolling

Follows similar application:
A 'content' layer is designated as the source material, while a 'Destination' layer is designated to receive the material. Two separate Actions need to be used to complete the wedging of content.

Lightbox Image (unencoded) (224.35 K) - (v0.96 update 5/20/08)

Details:

Let's you assign a Lightbox popup image similar to how Pic to New Window works. The file is left unencoded at present, which means it is for FW4/5Pro only.
(This is the original Lightbox version that does not use moo.js or mootools.js)

If you want more options and more flexibility, please check out: Mootools Suite

Current Page Formatting *Temporarily Disabled* - (v0.6b 07/10/06) -!! Does not seem to function in latest FW release - It worked when it was coded, but not now. I haven't touched it since 2006, so no surprise there and it never left beta stage

Details:

Allows custom CSS if the item contains a link to the current page. Optional 'default' CSS for other pages. Tested on table cells using FW4.2+

i.e. many table cells can have the same style applied to them, but an alternative style if any of the tabs are found to contain links to the curent page. Can be used to mimic the 'tab' effect found at apple.com

JUST FOR FUN:
Action Transfer Action (FWpro only) (5.61 K) - (v1.0 10/03/06)

Details:

function to transfer Action parameters from one Action to another. Almost as good as a copy and paste.

It is a page level Action tah allows selection of independant source and destination actions. It will then try to copy over as many parameters as possible from the source to the destination. It is possible to select dis-similar actions, but this action will only copy over paramaters with congruent names.

It is provided unencoded for others to experiment/improve. However this does make it FWpro only.
