DWfile.setAttributes()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX
Description
Sets the system-level attributes of a particular file.
Arguments
fileURL, strAttrs
• fileURL identifies the file, which is expressed as a file:// URL, for which you are setting the
attributes.
• strAttrs specifies the system-level attributes for the file that is identified by fileURL. The
following table describes valid attribute values and their meaning.
Acceptable values for the
strAttrs string are R, W, H, V, RH, RV, WH, or WV.
You should not use
R and W together because they are mutually exclusive. If you combine
them, R becomes meaningless, and the file is set as writable (W). You should not use H and V
together because they are also mutually exclusive. If you combine them,
H becomes
meaningless, and the file is set as visible (
V).
If you specify
H or V without specifying an R or W read/write attribute, the existing read/write
attribute for the file is not changed. Likewise, if you specify
R or W, without specifying an H or V
visibility attribute, the existing visibility attribute for the file is not changed.
Returns
Nothing.
