The Behaviors API

identifyBehaviorArguments()

Description

This function identifies arguments from a behavior function call as navigation links, 
dependent files, URLs, Netscape Navigator 4.0-style references, or object names so that URLs 
in behaviors can update if the user saves the document to another location and so the 
referenced files can appear in the site map and be considered dependent files for the purposes 
of uploading to and downloading from a server.

Arguments

■

This argument is the string that the 

applyBehavior()

 function returns.

Returns

Dreamweaver expects a string that contains a comma-separated list of the types of arguments 
in the function call. The length of the list must equal the number of arguments in the 
function call. Argument types must be one of the following types: 

■

The 

nav

 argument type specifies that the argument is a navigational URL, and therefore, 

it should appear in the site map.

■

The 

dep

 argument type specifies that the argument is a dependent file URL, and 

therefore, it should be included with all other dependent files when a document that 
contains this behavior is downloaded from or uploaded to a server.

■

The 

URL

 argument type specifies that the argument is both a navigational URL and a 

dependent URL or that it is a URL of an unknown type and should appear in the site map 
and be considered a dependent file when downloading from or uploading to a server.

■

The 

NS4.0ref

 argument type specifies that the argument is a Netscape Navigator 4.0-

style object reference.

■

The 

IE4.0ref

 argument type specifies that the argument is an Internet Explorer DOM 

4.0-style object reference.

■

The 

objName

 argument type specifies that the argument is a simple object name, as 

specified in the 

NAME

 attribute for the object. This type was added in Dreamweaver 3.

■

The 

other

 argument type specifies that the argument is none of the above types.
