Arguments
source, {title}
• The source argument is a string that contains source code, which represents the dynamic data object. It is the same
string that a previous call to this function returned. The function uses the contents of the source argument to
initialize all the dialog box controls, so they appear exactly as when the user clicked OK to create this string.
Dreamweaver passes this string to the inspectDynamicDataRef() function to determine if the string matches any
of the nodes in the tree. If the string matches a node, that node is selected when the dialog box appears. You can
also pass an empty string, which does not initialize the dialog box. For example, a dialog box is not initialized when
used to create a new item.
• The title argument, which is optional, is a string that contains the text to display in the title bar of the dialog box. If
this argument is not supplied, Dreamweaver displays Dynamic Data in the title bar.
Returns
A string that represents the dynamic data object, if the user clicks OK.
