268 Chapter 15: Server Behaviors
• The multiple value indicates that the participant is optional and multiple copies of it can be
associated with the server behavior. Any parameters that are unique to this participant are not
used when grouping participants because they might have different values.
• The data value is a nonstandard participant that is used by programmers as a repository for
additional group data. It is ignored by everything else.
Participant EDML files
These tags and attributes are valid within the EDML participant files.
<participant>
Description
This tag contains all the specifications for a single participant.
Parent
None.
Type
Block tag.
Required
Yes.
<participant> attributes
The following items are valid attributes of the participant tag.
version
Description
This attribute defines which version of Dreamweaver server behavior processing the current server
behavior targets. For Dreamweaver MX 2004, the version number is 7. If no version is specified,
Dreamweaver assumes version 7. For this release of Dreamweaver, all groups and participants that
the Server Behavior Builder creates have the version attribute set to 7.0.
Note: The participant version attribute overrides the group version attribute if they are different. But,
the participant file will use the group version attribute if the participant does not specify one.
For participant files, this attribute determines if code-block merging should occur. For
participants without this attribute (or have it set to 4 or earlier), the inserted code blocks are not
merged with other code blocks on the page. Participants that have this set to version 5 or later are
merged with other code blocks on the page when possible. Please note that code-block merging
occurs only for participants above and below the HTML tag.
