Note: In addition to letting you call this function from the JavaScript layer, Dreamweaver MX calls this function when
the user changes the encoding in the page Properties dialog box. If the server model does not support the new
character encoding, this function returns false and Dreamweaver pops up a warning dialog box that asks if the user
wants to do the conversion. An example of this situation is when a user attempts to convert a ColdFusion 4.5
document to UTF-8 because ColdFusion does not support UTF-8 encoding.
Arguments
metaCharSetString
metaCharSetString
is a string value that names a particular character set. This value is the same
as that of the
"charset=" attribute of a <meta> tag that is associated with a document. Supported
values for a given server model are defined in the HTML definition file for the server model,
which is located in the Configuration/ServerModels folder.
Returns
A Boolean value. The getServerSupportsCharset() function returns true if the server model
supports the named character set;
false otherwise.
dom.serverModel.getServerVersion()
Availability
Dreamweaver 1, enhanced in Dreamweaver MX
Description
Determines the server model that is associated with the document and returns that value. Each
server model has a getVersionArray() function, as defined in the Server Models API, which
returns a table of name-version pairs.
Note: For Dreamweaver MX, dom.serverModel.getServerVersion() first reads the serverVersion property
of the object that is returned by a call to getServerInfo() in the Server Models API. If that property does not exist,
dom.serverModel.getServerVersion() reads it from the getVersionArray() function.
Arguments
name
name
is a string that represents the name of a server model.
Returns
A string that contains the version of the named server model.
dom.serverModel.testAppServer()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX
Description
Tests whether a connection to the application server can be made.
Arguments
None.
Returns
A Boolean value that indicates whether the request to connect to the application server was
successful.
