applyFormat()

Availability

Adobe Dreamweaver UltraDev 1.

Description

This function can edit a user's document by adding a format function declaration to it. When a user selects a format from the Format text field in the Dynamic Data or the Dynamic Text dialog box or in the Bindings panel, Adobe Dreamweaver makes two changes to the user's document: It adds the appropriate format function before the HTML tag (if it's not already there), and it changes the dynamic data object to call the appropriate format function.

Adobe Dreamweaver adds the function declaration by calling the applyFormat() JavaScript function in the data format file. It changes the dynamic data object by calling the formatDynamicDataRef() function.

The applyFormat() function should use the DOM to add function declarations to the top of the user's document. For example, if the user selects Currency - Default, the function adds the Currency function declaration.

Arguments

format

• The format argument is a JavaScript object that describes the format to apply. The JavaScript object is the node that corresponds to the format tag in the Formats.xml file. The object has a JavaScript property for each attribute of the corresponding format tag.

Returns

Adobe Dreamweaver expects nothing.
