API Reference

320

Description

Obtains the URL parameters that are specified as Live Data settings.

Live Data mode lets you view a web page in the design stage (as if it has been translated by the application server and

returned). Generating dynamic content to display in Design view lets you view your page layout with live data and

adjust it, if necessary.

Before you view live data, you must enter Live Data settings for any URL parameters that you reference in your

document. This prevents the web server from returning errors for parameters that are otherwise undefined in the

simulation.

You enter the URL parameters in name-value pairs. For example, if you reference the URL variables

and

Name

server scripts in your document, you must set these URL parameters before you view live data.

You can enter Live Data settings through Dreamweaver in the following ways:

•

Through the Live Data Settings dialog box, which you can activate from the View menu

•

In the URL text field that appears at the top of the document when you click the Live Data View button on the

toolbar

For the

and

Name

parameters, you can enter the following pairs:

Name

Samuel

In the URL, these parameters would appear as shown in the following example:

http://someURL?ID=22&Name=Samuel

This function lets you obtain these live data settings through JavaScript.

Arguments

None.

Returns

An array that contains the URL parameters for the current document. The array contains an even number of

parameter strings. Each two elements form a URL parameter name-value pair. The even element is the parameter

name and the odd element is the value. For example,

getLiveDataParameters()

returns the following array for

the

and

Name

parameters in the preceding example:

['ID,'22','Name','Samuel']

Example

The following example returns the parameters that are specified as Live Data settings and stores them in the

param-

sArray

var paramsArray = dreamweaver.getLiveDataParameters();

dreamweaver.liveDataTranslate()
