DWfile.setAttributes()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
This function sets the system-level attributes of a particular file.
Arguments
fileURL, strAttrs
• The fileURL argument, which is expressed as a file:// URL, identifies the file for which you are setting the attributes.
• The strAttrs argument specifies the system-level attributes for the file that is identified by the fileURL argument.
The following table describes valid attribute values and their meaning:
Acceptable values for the strAttrs string are R , W , H , V , RH , RV , WH , or WV .
You should not use R and W together because they are mutually exclusive. If you combine them, R becomes
meaningless, and the file is set as writable ( W ). You should not use H and V together because they are also mutually
exclusive. If you combine them, H becomes meaningless, and the file is set as visible ( V ).
If you specify H or V without specifying an R or W read/write attribute, the existing read/write attribute for the file is
not changed. Likewise, if you specify R or W , without specifying an H or V visibility attribute, the existing visibility
attribute for the file is not changed.
Returns
Nothing.
