DREAMWEAVER CS3 237 API Reference • The sourceDoc argument must be "document", "parent", "parent.frames[number]", "parent.frames['frameName']", or a URL. The sourceDoc value defaults to "document" if you do not supply a value. These argument values have the following meanings: • The document value specifies the document that has focus and contains the current selection. • The parent value specifies the parent frameset (if the currently selected document is in a frame). • The parent.frames[number] and parent.frames['frameName'] values specify a document that is in a particular frame within the frameset that contains the current document. • If the argument is a relative URL, it is relative to the extension file. Note: If the argument is "document", the calling function must be the applyBehavior(), deleteBehavior(), objectTag() function, or any function in a command or Property inspector file that can perform edits to the document. Returns The JavaScript document object at the root of the tree. Examples The following example uses the dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM() function to access the current document: var theDOM = dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM("document"); In the following example, the current document DOM identifies a selection and pastes it at the end of another document: var currentDOM = dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM('document'); currentDOM.setSelection(100,200); currentDOM.clipCopy(); var otherDOM = dreamweaver.openDocument(dreamweaver.¬ getSiteRoot() + "html/foo.htm"); otherDOM.endOfDocument(); otherDOM.clipPaste(); Note: The openDocument() argument is used because DOM methods normally operate only on open documents. Running a function on a document that isn't open causes a Dreamweaver error. The DOM methods that can operate only on the active document or on closed documents indicate this fact in their descriptions. dreamweaver.getNewDocumentDOM() Availability Dreamweaver MX; added documentType argument in Dreamweaver 8. Description Provides access to the editable tree for a new, empty document. This function works in the same way as the getDocumetDOM() function, except that it points to a new document, not an existing one, and does not open the document. Arguments {documentType} • The documentType argument is a string. Its value must be a document type specified in the DocumentTypes.xml file. Returns A pointer to a new, empty document.

DREAMWEAVER CS3
API Reference
237
The
sourceDoc
argument must be
"document"
,
"parent"
,
"parent.frames[
number
]"
,
"parent.frames['
frameName
']"
, or a URL. The
sourceDoc
value defaults to
"document"
if you do not supply
a value. These argument values have the following meanings:
The
document
value specifies the document that has focus and contains the current selection.
The
parent
value specifies the parent frameset (if the currently selected document is in a frame).
The
parent.frames[
number
]
and
parent.frames['
frameName
']
values specify a document that is in a
particular frame within the frameset that contains the current document.
If the argument is a relative URL, it is relative to the extension file.
Note:
If the argument is
"document"
, the calling function must be the
applyBehavior()
,
deleteBehavior()
,
objectTag()
function, or any function in a command or Property inspector file that can perform edits to the document.
Returns
The JavaScript document object at the root of the tree.
Examples
The following example uses the
dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM()
function to access the current document:
var theDOM = dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM("document");
In the following example, the current document DOM identifies a selection and pastes it at the end of another
document:
var currentDOM = dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM('document');
currentDOM.setSelection(100,200);
currentDOM.clipCopy();
var otherDOM = dreamweaver.openDocument(dreamweaver.¬
getSiteRoot() + "html/foo.htm");
otherDOM.endOfDocument();
otherDOM.clipPaste();
Note:
The
openDocument()
argument is used because
DOM
methods normally operate only on open documents.
Running a function on a document that isn’t open causes a Dreamweaver error. The
DOM
methods that can operate only
on the active document or on closed documents indicate this fact in their descriptions.
dreamweaver.getNewDocumentDOM()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX; added
documentType
argument in Dreamweaver 8.
Description
Provides access to the editable tree for a new, empty document. This function works in the same way as the
getDoc-
umetDOM()
function, except that it points to a new document, not an existing one, and does not open the document.
Arguments
{documentType}
The
documentType
argument is a string. Its value must be a document type specified in the DocumentTypes.xml
file.
Returns
A pointer to a new, empty document.
