Floating panels
Arguments
None.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects a string containing the words "
left ", " right ", " top ", and " bottom ", or a combination of them,
that specifies where Dreamweaver can dock the floating panel.
Example
getDockingSide()
{
return dock_side = "left top";
}
initialPosition()
Description
Determines the initial position of the floating panel the first time it is called. If this function is not defined, the default
position is the center of the screen.
Arguments
platform
• The platform argument has a value of either "Mac" or "Win" , depending on the user’s platform.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects a string of the form
"leftPosInPixels,topPosInPixels" .
Example
The following example of the
initialPosition() function specifies that the first time the floating panel appears, it
should be 420 pixels from the left and 20 pixels from the top in Windows, and 390 pixels from the left side of the screen
and 20 pixels from the top of the screen on the Macintosh:
function initialPosition(platform){
var initPos = "420,20";
if (platform == "macintosh"){
initPos = "390,20";
}
return initPos;
}
initialTabs()
Description
Determines which other floating panels are tabbed together the first time that this floating panel appears. If any listed
floating panel has appeared previously, it is not included in the tab group. To ensure that two custom floating panels
are tabbed together, each panel should reference the other with the
initialTabs() function.
Arguments
None.
