Dreamweaver uses the strings that you enclose in parameter markers to label the controls in the dialog box it
generates (see the following procedure). In the previous example, Dreamweaver creates a dialog box with the
following label:
Note: Parameter names in the server behavior code cannot have any spaces. Therefore, the dialog box labels cannot have
any spaces. If you want to include spaces in the label, you can edit the generated HTML file.

Edit and modify server behaviors
You can edit any server behavior created with the Server Behavior Builder, including server behaviors you download
from the Dreamweaver Exchange website, and other third-party developers.
If you apply a server behavior to a page and then edit the behavior in Dreamweaver, instances of the old behavior no
longer appear in the Server Behaviors panel. The Server Behaviors panel searches the page for code that matches the
code of known server behaviors. If the code of a server behavior changes, the panel does not recognize earlier
versions of the behavior on that page.
