Code Hints 81

• The casesensitive attribute specifies whether the pattern is case-sensitive. The possible

values for the

casesensitive attribute are true, false, or a subset of the comma-separated

list that you specify for the

doctypes attribute. The list of document types lets you specify that

the pattern is case-sensitive for some document types but not for others. The value defaults to

false if you omit this attribute. If the casesensitive attribute is a value of true, the Code

Hints menu will open only if the text that the user types exactly matches the pattern that the

pattern attribute specifies. If the

casesensitive attribute is a value of false, the menu

appears even if the pattern is lowercase and the text is uppercase.

Contents

The menuitem tag.

Container

The menugroup tag.

Example

Description

This tag specifies the text for an item in a Code Hints pop-up menu. The menuitem tag also

specifies the value to insert into the text when you select the item.

Attributes

label, value

{icon}, {texticon}

• The label attribute is the string that Dreamweaver displays in the pop-up menu.

• The value attribute is the string that Dreamweaver inserts in the document when you select

the menu item. When the user selects the item from the menu and presses Enter or Return,

Dreamweaver replaces all the text that the user typed since the menu opened. The user typed

the pattern-matching characters before the menu opened, so Dreamweaver does not insert

them again. For example, if you want to insert

&amp, which is the HTML entity for ampersand

(&), you can define the following

menu and menuitem tags:

The value attribute does not include the ampersand (&) character because the user typed it

before the menu opened.

• The icon attribute, which is optional, specifies the path to an image file that Dreamweaver

displays as an icon to the left of the menu text. The location is expressed as a URL, relative to

the Configuration folder.

• The texticon attribute, which is optional, specifies a text string to appear in the icon area

instead of an image file. This attribute is used for the HTML Entities menu.
