Finally, changeCase() resets the selection and calls window.close() to close the UI. The code

looks like the following example:

// Set the selection back to where it was when you

// started

theDOM.setSelection(theSel[0],theSel[1]);

window.close(); // close extension UI

}

Running the command

After you place the files in the Commands folder, you must either restart Dreamweaver or reload

the extensions before the new extension appears on the Commands menu.

To make Dreamweaver reload extensions, hold down the Control key (Windows) or the Options

key (Macintosh) and click the current category button on the Insert bar, as shown in the

following figure:

Next, click the Reload Extensions item on the Context menu, as shown in the following figure:

The Change Case entry should now appear on the Commands menu.

When Dreamweaver starts, it creates a Commands menu entry for each HTML file in the

Commands folder, except those that contain the following line:

Because the Change Case.html file does not contain this line, Dreamweaver adds an entry for

Change Case to the Commands menu. The entry will be dim, however, until the user selects text

in the document.

To test the command, type some text in a document, select it, and select Change Case from the

Commands menu.
