DWfile.setAttributes()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
This function sets the system-level attributes of a particular file.
Arguments
fileURL
,
strAttrs
•
The
fileURL
argument, which is expressed as a file:// URL, identifies the file for which you
are setting the attributes.
•
The
strAttrs
argument specifies the system-level attributes for the file that is identified by the
fileURL
argument. The following table describes valid attribute values and their meaning:
Acceptable values for the
strAttrs
string are
R
,
W
,
H
,
V
,
RH
,
RV
,
WH
, or
WV
.
You should not use
R
and
W
together because they are mutually exclusive. If you combine them,
R
becomes meaningless, and the file is set as writable (
W
). You should not use
H
and
V
together
because they are also mutually exclusive. If you combine them,
H
becomes meaningless, and the
file is set as visible (
V
).
If you specify
H
or
V
without specifying an
R
or
W
read/write attribute, the existing read/write
attribute for the file is not changed. Likewise, if you specify
R
or
W
, without specifying an
H
or
V
visibility attribute, the existing visibility attribute for the file is not changed.
Returns
Nothing.
Attribute Value Description
R
Read only
W

R
)
H

V

H
)
