Example
The following function uses the
dreamweaver.browseDocument()
function to open the
Hotwired home page in a browser:
function goToHotwired(){
dreamweaver.browseDocument('http://www.hotwired.com/');
}
In Dreamweaver 4, you can expand this operation to open the document in Microsoft
Internet Explorer using the following code:
function goToHotwired(){
var prevBrowsers = dw.getBrowserList();
var theBrowser = "";
for (var i=1; i < prevBrowsers.length; i+2){
if (prevBrowsers[i].indexOf('Iexplore.exe') != -1){
theBrowser = prevBrowsers[i];
break;
}
}
dw.browseDocument('http://www.hotwired.com/',theBrowser);
}
