Extension error if DW is not restarted between uses

must_be_user_error · must_be_user_error

DWMX 2004 on a WinXP pro SP2 box. I am not running as superuser, but I'm also
only adding this script to my personal config folder.

The extension is a very simple JS designed to automate some redundant
find/replaces when cleaning up code in documents converted to HTML from within
Quark.

When I start Dreamweaver and run the script, it works with no error. I can
even run several similar extensions in a row. But try to run the script a
second time on a new document without closing and restarting Dreamweaver, and
rather than performing those nice automated find/replaces, the script throws
this into the head of the document, then does nothing:

<head>
<title>Cleanup</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

I'm developing this for a team of people that are not going to want to have to
restart DW every time they work on a new document.

This is probably something simple that I'm just overlooking. Code is below.
Any ideas?

<html>
<head>
<title>Cleanup</title>
<script language="javascript">
var counter = 0
var dom=dw.getDocumentDOM();

var mddfind = new Array()
mddfind[0] = "?"
mddfind[1] = "?"
mddfind[2] = "?"
mddfind[3] = "?"

mddrep[14] = "..."
mddrep[15] = "€"
mddrep[16] = "§"

//Make sure we're in code view
dom.setView("code")

while (counter < mddfind.length) {
//get a value to find
var mddfindstring = mddfind[counter].toString()
//get a value to replace
var mddrepstring = mddrep[counter].toString()

dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({searchString: mddfindstring, replaceString:
mddrepstring, searchSource: true, ignoreWhitespace: true});
dreamweaver.replaceAll()

counter++}

dreamweaver.setUpComplexFindReplace('<dwquery><que ryparams><find><qtag
qname="font"></qtag></find><replace action="stripTag"/></dwquery>');
dreamweaver.replaceAll()

</script>

I notice that you execute the JS inline. I think this is the problem,
because DW loads extensions only once per session and then stores them
for subsequent use. Try placing your JS in a function and then calling
it in <body onLoad="yourfunc()">.

There is a lot of code in the Configuration folder, so search through
for some examples.

Hope this helps,
Randy
