Getlanguagesignatures() - MACROMEDIA DREAMWEAVER MX 2004-EXTENDING DREAMWEAVER Manual

Description
Returns the document file extensions with which a server model can work. For example, the ASP
server model supports .asp and .htm file extensions. This function returns an array of strings, and
Dreamweaver uses these strings to populate the Default Page Extension list that is found in the
App Server category in the Site Definition dialog box.
Note: The Default Page Extension list exists only in Dreamweaver 4 and earlier. For
Dreamweaver MX, and later, the Site Definition dialog box does not list file extension settings.
Instead, Dreamweaver reads the Extensions.txt file and parses the
mmDocumentTypes.xml file. (For more information on these two files and the
see "Extensible document types in Dreamweaver" on page
