Arguments
source, {title}
• The argument is a string that contains source code, which represents the dynamic data object. It is the
source
same string that a previous call to this function returned. The function uses the contents of the
to initialize all the dialog box controls, so they appear exactly as when the user clicked OK to create this string.
Dreamweaver passes this string to the

pass an empty string, which does not initialize the dialog box. For example, a dialog box is not initialized when used
to create a new item.
• The argument, which is optional, is a string that contains the text to display in the title bar of the dialog
title
box. If this argument is not supplied, Dreamweaver displays Dynamic Data in the title bar.
