402 Server Formats

When the data formatting functions

are called

The data formatting functions are called in the following scenarios:

■ In the Dynamic Data or the Dynamic Text dialog box, the user selects a node from the

data source tree and a format from the Format menu. When the user selects the format,

Dreamweaver calls the

generateDynamicDataRef() function and passes the return value

from the

generateDynamicDataRef() function to the formatDynamicDataRef()

function. The return value from the

formatDynamicDataRef() function appears in the

Code setting of the dialog box. After the user clicks OK, the string of code is inserted into

the user’s document. Next, Dreamweaver calls the

applyFormat() function to insert a

function declaration. For more information, see “generateDynamicDataRef()”

on page 394. A similar process occurs when the user works with the Bindings panel.

■ If the user changes the format or deletes the dynamic data item, the deleteFormat()

function is called. The

deleteFormat() function removes the support scripts from the

document.

■ When the user clicks the Plus (+) button in the Edit Format List dialog box, Dreamweaver

displays a menu that contains all the format types for the specified server model. Each

format type corresponds to a file in the Configuration/ServerFormats/currentServerModel

folder.

If the user selects a format from the Plus (+) menu that requires a user-specified parameter,

Dreamweaver executes the

onload handler on the body tag and displays the Parameters

dialog box, which shows the parameters for the format type. In this dialog box, when the

user selects parameters for the format and clicks OK, Dreamweaver calls the

applyFormatDefinition() function.

If the selected format does not need to display a Parameters dialog box, Dreamweaver calls

the

applyFormatDefinition() function when the user selects the format type from the

Plus (+) menu.

■ Later, if the user edits the format by selecting it in the Edit Format List dialog box and

clicking the Edit button, Dreamweaver calls the

inspectFormatDefinition() function

before the Parameters dialog box appears, so the form controls can be initialized to the

correct values.
