Localizing an extension 107

Dreamweaver supports the use of event handlers within links. Event handlers in links must

use syntax, as shown in the following example:

Plug-ins (set to play at all times) are supported in the BODY of extensions. The

document.write() statement, Java applets, and ActiveX controls are not supported

in extensions.

Displaying Help

The displayHelp() function, which is part of several extension APIs, causes Dreamweaver to

do the following two things when you include it in your extension:

■ Add a Help button to the interface.

■ Call displayHelp() when the user clicks the Help button.

You must write the body of the

displayHelp() function to display Help. How you code the

displayHelp() function determines how your extension displays Help. You can call the

dreamweaver.browseDocument() function to open a file in a browser or devise a custom way

to display Help such as displaying messages in another layer in alert boxes.

The following example uses the

displayHelp() function to display Help by calling

dreamweaver.browseDocument():

// The following instance of displayHelp() opens a browser to display a file

// that explains how to use the extension.

function displayHelp() {

var myHelpFile = dw.getConfigurationPath() + "ExtensionsHelp/

myExtHelp.htm";

dw.browseDocument(myHelpFile);

}

Localizing an extension

Use the following techniques to make it easier to translate your extensions into local

languages.

■ Separate extensions into HTML and JavaScript files. The HTML files can be replicated

and localized; the JavaScript files are not localized.

■ Do not define display strings in the JavaScript files (check for alerts and UI code). Extract

all localizable strings into separate XML files in the Dreamweaver Configuration/Strings

folder.
