Live data functions
You can use the following live data functions to mimic menu functionality:
• The showLiveDataDialog() function is used for the View > Live Data Settings menu item.
• The setLiveDataMode() function is used for the View > Live Data and View > Refresh Live
Data menu items.
• The getLiveDataMode() function determines whether Live Data mode is active.
You can use the remaining live data functions when you implement the translator API
liveDataTranslateMarkup() function.
dreamweaver.getLiveDataInitTags()
Availability
Dreamweaver UltraDev 1.
Description
Returns the initialization tags for the currently active document. The initialization tags are the
HTML tags that the user supplies in the Live Data Settings dialog box. This function is typically
called from a translator’s
liveDataTranslateMarkup() function, so that the translator can pass
the tags to the
liveDataTranslate() function.
