Description
This function returns the children of a top-level node.
Arguments
sourceName
• The sourceName argument is the name of the top-level node whose children you want to return.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects an array of JavaScript objects where each object can have as many as four properties, which are
described in the following list:
• The title property is the label string that appears on the right of the icon for each parent node. This property is
required.
• The allowDelete property is optional. If this property is set to the value false , when the user clicks this node in
the Bindings panel, the Minus (-) button is disabled. If this property is set to the value true , the Minus (-) button
is enabled. If the property is not defined, the default is the value true .
• The dataSource property is the simple name of the file in which the findDynamicSources() function is defined.
For example, the findDynamicSources() function in the Session.htm file, which is located in the
Configuration/DataSources/ASP_Js folder, sets the dataSource property to session.htm . This property is
required.
