inspectTag()

Availability

Adobe Dreamweaver MX.

Description

The function is called when the tag editor first appears. The function receives as an argument the tag that the user is editing, which is expressed as a dom object. The function extracts attribute values from the tag that is being edited and uses these values to initialize form elements in the tag editor.

Arguments

tag

  • The tag argument is the DOM node of the edited tag.

Returns

Adobe Dreamweaver expects nothing.

Example

Suppose the user edits the following tag:

<crfweather zip = "94065"/>

If the editor contains a text field for editing the zip attribute, the function needs to initialize the form element so that the user sees the actual ZIP code in the text field, rather than an empty field.

The following code performs the initialization:

function inspectTag(tag){ document.forms[0].zip.value = tag.zip}
