DREAMWEAVER CS3
API Reference
234
The
type
argument specifies the type of document to create, as declared in the Dreamweaver Configu-
ration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml file as the
id
attribute of the
documenttype
tag. For example,
the
type
argument could be
"HTML", "ASP-JS", "ASP-VB", "ColdFusion", "CFC", "JSP",
"ASP.NET_VB"
, and so on. For a complete list of possible types, see the MMDocumentTypes.xml file. If you do
not specify
type
, the value defaults to
"HTML"
.
Note:
You can extend the MMDocumentTypes file by adding your own document types. For information on extending
document types, see Extending Dreamweaver.
Returns
The document object for the newly created document. This is the same value that the
dreamweaver.getDocu-
mentDOM()
function returns.
dreamweaver.createXHTMLDocument()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
Depending on the argument that you pass to this function, it opens a new XHTML document either in the same
window or in a new window. The new document becomes the active document. It is similar to the
dream-
weaver.createDocument()
function.
When Dreamweaver creates a new XHTML document, it reads a file named default.xhtml, which is located in the
Configuration/Templates folder, and, using the content of that file, creates an output file that contains the following
skeleton declarations:
<?xml version="1.0">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=" />
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
</body>
</html>
The default document type definition (DTD) declaration is
XHTML 1.0 Transitional
, rather than
Strict
. If the
user adds a frameset to the document, Dreamweaver switches the DTD to
XHTML 1.0 Frameset
.
Content-Type
is
text/html
, and
charset
is intentionally left out of the default.xhtml file but is filled in before the user views the
new document. The
?xml
directive is not required if the document uses UTF-8 or UTF-16 character encoding; if it
is present, it might be rendered by some older browsers. However, because this directive should be in an XHTML
document, by default, Dreamweaver uses it (for both new and converted documents). Users can manually delete the
directive. The
?xml
directive includes the encoding attribute, which matches the
charset
in the
Content-Type
attribute.
