Document Functions - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS 8-EXTENDING FIREWORKS Manual

Working with selected elements
Many API functions in this chapter refer to a "selection" or to "selected items." These terms
refer to Fireworks elements, such as text boxes or images, that are currently selected. In most
cases, the functions work even if only one item is selected. If a function requires more than
one selected item, this is noted in the description of the function.
Palette or panel
Several API functions reference the History panel (see
on page 350). Throughout the Fireworks documentation and online help, the term palette is
reserved for discussions of a color palette, and the term panel is used to refer to the floating
windows that are available within Fireworks. Therefore, when the function name contains
palette, the descriptions refer to a panel.

Document functions

As discussed in an earlier section, you get and set document properties by calling functions as
methods of the document's Document Object Model (DOM) (see
document" on page 10). Methods that operate on a document's DOM are listed in this
section as
dom.functionName()
