My current website uses a few simple behaviors (namely 'mouseOver') for people that view my art gallery and want to see the full picture from the thumbnails. However I use Dreamweaver to do that and it works out pretty decently.

While I dont need a linux program that is as hefty as dreamweaver, I would sure like it to have those functions in the application since I do have a big gallery. Trying Aptana, nVu, Bluefish and Amaya yielded no information on if those programs did that.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a program that will do these things?

If I understand the question correctly, Amaya does have mouse functions under its Attributes list.

Do you have any more information you could provide about that?

I'm new to Amaya, so I'm not sure if this helps...

Within the program's Tools listing (on the left side) you'll see all the XHTML buttons. Click on button labeled "A". Then an Attributes list appears. Scroll down that list and find "onmouseup", "onmousedown", etc. and just click the checkbox next to whichever mouse function you want.

Yeha. I see the options and I could check "onmouseover" and such. Only problem was getting a choice of behaviors or events to choose from to have happen when a user does a mouseover. I would have to input that manually myself which wouldnt totally solve things. Hmm....not sure if there is just a step Im missing out on.

I think it should be better if you subscribe to the Amaya mailing list. I used it for a long time and I got a lot of help via that mailing list

still many of us prefer to manually code our events.
