Description

on page 162.
This function inserts a string of code into the user's document. In Dreamweaver MX,

Dreamweaver to do nothing.
The assumption is that edits have been made manually before the return statement, so
doing nothing in this case is not equivalent to clicking Cancel.
In Dreamweaver 4, if the focus is in Code view and the selection is a range (meaning that it is
not an insertion point), the range is replaced by the string that the
returns. This is the value
returns nothing. The
edits to the document have already been made manually. Otherwise, double quotation marks
(" ") often delete the edit by replacing the selection.
Arguments
None.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects the string to insert into the user's document.
