Required
No.
Value
searchString is a literal string that exists on the page if the participant exists. It should be as
unique as possible, but it does not have be definitively unique. It is not case-sensitive, but be careful
with nonessential spaces that can be changed by the user, as shown in the following example:
<quickSearch>Response.Redirect</quickSearch>
If quickSearch is empty, it is considered to match, and more precise searches use the regular
expressions that are defined in the
<searchPattern> tags. This is helpful if a simple string
cannot be used to express a reliable search pattern and regular expressions are required.
EDML Tag: insertText
Description
Provides information about what to insert in the document and where to insert it. Contains the
text to be inserted in the document. Parts of the text that are customized should be indicated by
@@parameterName@@.
In some cases, such as a translator-only participant, you might not need this tag.
Parent
implementation
Type
Block tag.
Required
No.
Value
The text to be inserted in the document. If any parts of the text need customizing, they can be
passed in later as parameters. Parameters should be embedded in two at (
@@) signs. Because this
text can interfere with the EDML structure, it should use the CDATA construct, as shown in the
following example:
<insertText location="aboveHTML">
<![CDATA[<%= @@recordset@@).cursorType %>]]>
</insertText>
When the text is inserted, the @@recordset@@ is replaced by a recordset name that the user
supplies. For more information on conditional and repeating code blocks, see the “Adding
Custom Server Behaviors” chapter of Getting Started with Dreamweaver MX.
Attribute: location
Description
Specifies where the participant text should be inserted. The insert location is related to the
whereToSearch attribute of the searchPatterns tag, so be sure to set both carefully (see
“Attribute: whereToSearch” on page 169).
