216 Chapter 11: Tag Libraries and Editors
applyTag()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
When the user clicks OK, Dreamweaver calls the validateTag() function. If the
validateTag() function returns a true value, Dreamweaver calls this function and passes the
dom object that represents the current tag (the tag that is being edited). The function reads the
values out of the form elements and writes them into the
dom object.
Arguments
tag
• The tag argument is the DOM node of the tag being edited.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects nothing.
Example
Continuing the cfweather example, in the following code, if the user changes the ZIP code from
94065 to 53402, in order to update the user’s document to use the new ZIP code, the
dom object
must be updated:
function applyTag(tag)
{
tag.zip = document.forms[0].zip.value
}
