Windows, and 390 pixels from the left side of the screen and 20 pixels from the top of the 
screen on the Macintosh:

function initialPosition(platform){

var initPos = "420,20";
if (platform == "macintosh"){

initPos = "390,20";

}

panel appears. If any listed floating panel has appeared previously, it is not included in the tab

reference the other with the 

initialTabs()

 function.

Dreamweaver expects a string of the form 

"floaterName1,floaterName2,...floaterNameN"

.

function initialTabs(){

return "scriptEditor";

}
