The Menu Commands API 157
Example
The following example of the commandButtons() function defines the OK, Cancel, and Help
buttons:

return new Array("OK" , "doCommand()" , "Cancel" , ¬
"window.close()" , "Help" , "showHelp()");
}
getDynamicContent()
Description
Retrieves the content for the dynamic portion of the menu.
Arguments
menuID
• The menuID argument is the value of the id attribute in the menuitem tag that is associated
with the item.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects an array of strings where each string contains the name of a menu item
and its unique ID, separated by a semicolon. If the function returns a
null value, the menu does
not change.
Example
The following example of the getDynamicContent() function returns an array of four menu
items (My Menu Item 1, My Menu Item 2, My Menu Item 3, and My Menu Item 4):
function getDynamicContent(){
var stringArray= new Array();
var i=0;
var numItems = 4;
for (i=0; i<numItems;i++)
stringArray[i] = new String("My Menu Item " + i + ";¬
id=’My-MenuItem" + i + “‘”);
return stringArray;
}
