The Objects API 125
Arguments
None.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects the string to insert into the user’s document.
Example
The following example of the objectTag() function inserts an OBJECT/EMBED combination for a
specific ActiveX control and plug-in:
function objectTag() {
return '\n' +
'<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:166F1OOB-3A9R-11FB-8075444553540000" \n'¬
+ 'CODEBASE="http://www.mysite.com/product/cabs/¬
myproduct.cab#version=1,0,0,0" \n' + 'NAME="MyProductName"> \n' ¬
+ '<PARAM NAME="SRC" VALUE=""> \n' + '<EMBED SRC="" HEIGHT="" ¬
WIDTH="" NAME="MyProductName"> \n' + '</OBJECT>'
}
windowDimensions()
Description
This function sets specific dimensions for the Options dialog box. If this function is not defined,
the window dimensions are computed automatically.
Note: Do not define this function unless you want an Options dialog box that is larger than
640 x 480 pixels.
Arguments
platform
• The value of the platform argument is either "macintosh" or "windows", depending on the
user’s platform.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects a string of the form "widthInPixels,heightInPixels".
The returned dimensions are smaller than the size of the entire dialog box because they do not
include the area for the OK and Cancel buttons. If the returned dimensions do not accommodate
all options, scroll bars appear.
Example
The following example of the windowDimensions() function sets the dimensions of the
Parameters dialog box to 648 x 520 pixels for Windows and 660 x 580 pixels for the Macintosh:
function windowDimensions(platform){
var retval = ""
if (platform = = "windows"){
retval = "648, 520";
}else{
retval = "660, 580";
}
return retval;
}
