DREAMWEAVER CS3 265 API Reference 7 Dreamweaver calls the text() function for each span of text in the document (that is, everything that is not a tag or a directive). Text spans include text that is not visible to the user, such as the text inside a or tag. The text() function accepts two arguments, a string that contains the text and the document offset, which is the number of bytes in the document before the closing of the closing tag. The text() function returns a Boolean value that indicates whether scanning should continue. Arguments HTMLstr, parserCallbackObj • The HTMLstr argument is a string that contains code. • The parserCallbackObj argument is a JavaScript object that has one or more of the following methods: openTagBegin(), openTagEnd(), closeTagBegin(), closeTagEnd(), directive(), attribute(), and text(). For best performance, parserCallbackObj should be a shared library that is defined using the C-Level Extensibility interface. Performance is also improved if parserCallbackObj defines only the callback functions that it needs. Returns A Boolean value: true if the operation completed successfully; false otherwise.

For example, the string of HTML is "hello". 4 Dreamweaver analyzes the string and determines that the string contains a font tag. Dreamweaver calls the callback functions in the following sequence: • The openTagBegin() function • The attribute() function (for the size attribute) • The openTagEnd() function • The text() function (for the "hello" string) • The closeTagBegin() and closeTagEnd() functions Translation functions Translation functions deal either directly with translators or with translation results.

DREAMWEAVER CS3
API Reference
265
7
Dreamweaver calls the
text()
function for each span of text in the document (that is, everything that is not a tag
or a directive). Text spans include text that is not visible to the user, such as the text inside a
<title>
or
<option>
tag. The
text()
function accepts two arguments, a string that contains the text and the document offset, which is
the number of bytes in the document before the closing of the closing tag. The
text()
function returns a Boolean
value that indicates whether scanning should continue.
Arguments
HTMLstr, parserCallbackObj
The
HTMLstr
argument is a string that contains code.
The
parserCallbackObj
argument is a JavaScript object that has one or more of the following methods:
openTagBegin()
,
openTagEnd()
,
closeTagBegin()
,
closeTagEnd()
,
directive()
,
attribute()
, and
text()
. For best performance,
parserCallbackObj
should be a shared library that is defined using the C-Level
Extensibility interface. Performance is also improved if
parserCallbackObj
defines only the callback functions
that it needs.
Returns
A Boolean value:
true
if the operation completed successfully;
false
otherwise.
Example
The following sequence of steps provide an example of how to use the
dreamweaver.scanSourceString()
function:
1
Create an implementation for one or more of the seven callback functions.
2
Write a script that calls the
dreamweaver.scanSourceString()
function.
3
The
dreamweaver.scanSourceString()
function passes a string that contains HTML and pointers to the
callback functions that you wrote. For example, the string of HTML is
"<font size=2>hello</font>"
.
4
Dreamweaver analyzes the string and determines that the string contains a font tag. Dreamweaver calls the
callback functions in the following sequence:
The
openTagBegin()
function
The
attribute()
function (for the size attribute)
The
openTagEnd()
function
The
text()
function (for the
"hello"
string)
The
closeTagBegin()
and
closeTagEnd()
functions
Translation functions
Translation functions deal either directly with translators or with translation results. These functions get information
about or run a translator, edit content in a locked region, and specify that the translated source should be used when
getting and setting selection offsets.
