The name
getDynamicContent()
the menu is fixed. For example, the Text_Size.htm file in the Configuration/Menus/MM folder is not a dynamic
menu; it is designed to be called from each one of a set of static menu items. By adding a
function that simply returns the list of possible font sizes, however, the same command file can also be used for a
toolbar pop-up menu. Toolbar items ignore underscores in the strings in a returned array so you can reuse menu
commands files. In the menu commands file, Dreamweaver ignores the
the menu item is not marked as dynamic.
Arguments
None.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects an array of strings with which to populate the menu.
Example
function getDynamicContent()
{
var items = new Array;
var filename = dw.getConfigurationPath() + "/Toolbars/MM/AddressList.xml";
var location = MMNotes.localURLToFilePath(filename);
if (DWfile.exists(location))
{
var addressData = DWfile.read(location);
var addressDOM = dw.getDocumentDOM(dw.getConfigurationPath() +
'/Shared/MM/Cache/empty.htm');
addressDOM.documentElement.outerHTML = addressData;
var addressNodes = addressDOM.getElementsByTagName("url");
if (addressNodes.length)
{
for (var i=0; i < addressNodes.length ; i++ )
{
items[i] = addressNodes[i].address + ";id='" +
addressNodes[i].address + "'";
}
}
}
return items;
