The result appears in the Document window, as shown in the following figure:
dom.insertObject()
Availability
Dreamweaver 3.
Description
Inserts the specified object, prompting the user for parameters if necessary.
Arguments
objectName
• The objectName argument is the name of an object in the Configuration/Objects folder.
Returns
Nothing.
Example
A call to the dom.insertObject('Button') function inserts a form button into the active
document after the current selection. If nothing is selected, this function inserts the button at the
current insertion point.
Note: Although object files can be stored in separate folders, it’s important that these files have
unique names. If a file called Button.htm exists in the Forms folder and also in the MyObjects folder,
Dreamweaver cannot distinguish between them.
dom.insertText()
Availability
Dreamweaver 3.
Description
Inserts text content into the document at the current insertion point.
Arguments
contentToInsert
, {bReplaceCurrentSelection}
• The contentToInsert argument is the content that you want to insert.
• The bReplaceCurrentSelection argument, which is optional, is a Boolean value that
indicates whether the content should replace the current selection. If the
bReplaceCurrentSelection argument is a value of true, the content replaces the current
selection. If the value is
false, the content is inserted after the current selection.
Returns
Nothing.
