DREAMWEAVER CS3 270 Extending Dreamweaver This example indicates that only the value of the ACTION attribute of FORM tags should be searched. If that attribute is not defined, the tag is ignored. • The tagOnly value searches only the outer tag and ignores the innerHTML tag. This value is valid only if whereToSearch is a tag. • The innerOnly value searches only the innerHTML tag and ignores the outer tag. This value is valid only if whereToSearch is a tag. isOptional Description This attribute is a flag that indicates that the search pattern is not required to find the participant. This is useful for complex participants that might have non-critical parameters to extract. You can create some patterns for distinctly identifying a participant and have some optional patterns for extracting non-critical parameters. Parent searchPattern Type Attribute. Required No. Values true, false • The value is true if the searchPattern is not necessary to identify the participant. • The value is false (default) if the searchPattern tag is required. For example, consider the following simple recordset string: The search patterns must identify the participant and extract several parameters. However, if a parameter such as cursorType is not found, you should still recognize this pattern as a recordset. The cursor parameter is optional. In the EDML, the search patterns might look like the following example: /var (\w+) = Server.CreateObject/ /ActiveConnection = "([^\r\n]*)"/ /Source = "([^\r\n]*)"/ /CursorType = (\d+)/ The first three patterns are required to identify the recordset. If the last parameter is not found, the recordset is still identified.
