The new object appears at the beginning of the Common category on the Insert bar, as shown in the following figure:
Adding a dialog box
You can add a form to your object to let the user enter parameters before Dreamweaver inserts the specified code
(for example, the Hyperlink object requests the text, link, target, category index, title, and access key values from the
user). In this example, you add a form to the Strikethrough object from the previous example. The form opens a
dialog box that provides the user with the option to change the text color to red as well as add the strike-through tag.
This example assumes you have already created a separate JavaScript file called Strikethrough.js.
First, in Strikethrough.js, you add the function that the form calls if the user changes the text color. This function is
similar to the
objectTag()
To create the function:
After the

objectTag()
following code:
function fontColorRed(){
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
if (dw.getFocus() == 'textView' || dw.getFocus(true) == 'html'){
var upCaseTag = (dw.getPreferenceString("Source Format", "Tags Upper Case", "")
== 'TRUE');
// Manually wrap tags around selection.
if (upCaseTag){
dom.source.wrapSelection('<FONT COLOR="#FF0000">','</FONT>');
}else{
dom.source.wrapSelection('<font color="#FF0000">','</font>');
}
}else if (dw.getFocus() == 'document'){
dom.applyFontMarkup("color", "#FF0000");
}
// Just return -- don't do anything else.
return;
}
