identifyBehaviorArguments()
Description
Identifies arguments from a behavior function call as navigation links, dependent files, URLs,
Netscape Navigator 4.0-style references, or object names so that URLs in behaviors can update if the
user saves the document to another location and so the referenced files can appear in the site map
and be considered dependent files for the purposes of uploading to and downloading from a server.
Arguments
theFunctionCall
This argument is the string that the applyBehavior() function returns.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects a string that contains a comma-separated list of the types of arguments in
the function call. The length of the list must equal the number of arguments in the function call.
Argument types must be one of the following types:
• nav specifies that the argument is a navigational URL, and therefore, it should appear in
the site map.
• dep specifies that the argument is a dependent file URL, and therefore, it should be included
with all other dependent files when a document that contains this behavior is downloaded
from or uploaded to a server.
• URL specifies that the argument is both a navigational URL and a dependent URL or that it is
a URL of an unknown type, and therefore, that it should appear in the site map and be
considered a dependent file when uploading to or downloading from a server.
• NS4.0ref specifies that the argument is a Netscape Navigator 4.0-style object reference.
• IE4.0ref specifies that the argument is an Internet Explorer DOM 4.0-style object reference.
• objName specifies that the argument is a simple object name, as specified in the NAME attribute
for the object. This type was added in Dreamweaver 3.
• other specifies that the argument is none of the above types.
Example
This simple example of identifyBehaviorArguments() works for the Open Browser Window
behavior action, which returns a function that always has three arguments (the URL to open, the
name of the new window, and the list of window properties):
function identifyBehaviorArguments(fnCallStr) {
return "URL,other,other";
}
