Dreamweaver 8 - New Extension Engine?

[Jammer]

Hey Everyone!

I have an extension that works GREAT in DW version 8, but in any earlier
version I get an error stating that:

TypeError: document.images[1] has no properties.

But it does, although I am dynamically defining the source. Any ideas?

If you would like a copy of the extension, let me know,

jj at frunder.com

Thanks!

Just a wild guess... Do you have at least a placement image in the place of
document.images[1] before it gets loaded dynamically? If not you might want
to throw in an image so its src can be changed.

Hmmm...

Well I tried that. Did not work.

Here is the javascript code:

document.images[1].src = (imagePath+"yes.gif");

Here is the code on the page:

<img src="" alt="Site Folder" width="20" height="20">

I have tried with src empty and with stuff in it. No luck.

Thanks for the thought though!
Any other thoughts?

Perhaps add an alert(document.images[1]) to check that
document.images[1] exists at all. Any chance that you mean [0] ? Not
sure why it work in dw8 if this were the case, but we are not getting to
see your entire page, so just guessing.

What I am doing is defining all of the images through a function on the
window.onLoad. I define images 0 - 8 so yeah, images[1] does exist.

If you want to see the extension any maybe see whay this may be happening, you
can download it here:

Thanks again for any help.

I may have time later today to try it, but I am suggesting that you use
that alert to see if the the code sees that the image exists, not that
you know it to exist.

Jammer,

To solve your issue, you could give your images id's ( and names ) and
access them with the findObj().

<img name="folder" id="folder" src="0folder.gif" alt="Site Folder"

findObject('folder').src = (imagePath+"yes.gif");

Another way is to traverse the DOM for the image element.You could do it
this way and the syntax would then be...

document.layers["summary"].document.images["folder"].src =
(imagePath+"no.gif");

This way it will be easier to track your targeted images .. by id .. instead
of thier order in the page.

yeah!!!!

It is working!

I tried your seggestion trent and it worked!

I don't know why I did not try that, it seems that fundObj has been the answer
to my last 8 questions. eeeekkkk...

Anyway... thanks again guys! You are great! My extension is almost done!

You will be the first to know when it is in Beta, because you are the ones
developing it I am just copying and pasting your answers... (It seems that way
at least).

Thanks agian!
