liveDataTranslateMarkup() function, so that the translator can pass the tags to the liveDataTranslate()
function.

A string that contains the initialization tags.

A Boolean value:

dreamweaver.getLiveDataParameters ()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
Obtains the URL parameters that are specified as Live Data settings.
Live Data mode lets you view a web page in the design stage (as if it has been translated by the application server and
returned). Generating dynamic content to display in Design view lets you view your page layout with live data and
adjust it, if necessary.
Before you view live data, you must enter Live Data settings for any URL parameters that you reference in your
document. This prevents the web server from returning errors for parameters that are otherwise undefined in the
simulation.
You enter the URL parameters in name-value pairs. For example, if you reference the URL variables ID and Name in
server scripts in your document, you must set these URL parameters before you view live data.
You can enter Live Data settings through Dreamweaver in the following ways:
• Through the Live Data Settings dialog box, which you can activate from the View menu.
