GoLive JS is a mess - Need help

[wrrn]

Hi -

I'm beginning work on an existing web site which was created with Adobe Golive.
The page in question has CSACTIONS which is part of Golive's CyberStudio.

Anyway, the code below has this CSaction stuff and a bunch of Javascript. If
somebody would please take a very brief peek at the code and give me a basic
idea of what it does. Presumably something to do with pausing the page before
redirecting to another URL. But it seems like so much code just to do that;
surely it
does more ...

TIA,
warren

Yes I think that is what it does.

....

You may find much of it isn't needed. It is there to potentially
support other actions but when you use one you cop for the lot. GoLive
gives the option of having this code in each page or maintaining a
common external library of code on the site and it looks like you are
seeing the former. I think there is also an option to strip the
unneeded bits but I may have made that up as I don't tend to use the
actions. As you can see they can be a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
