getDocumentDOM() not current

[acram]

Hi all,

When I use the dw.getDocumentDOM() function, it doesn't always return the most
current DOM object. I will output it's return one second, make a few changes
then re-output it, and it still returns the pre-changes DOM.

It seems to "refresh" if I change one of the top menus, reload extensions, or
do anything other than editing the code.

Is there a function I can call to cause it to refresh automatically? I'm
using Dreamweaver MX (not 2004).

Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,

Just launch your extension interface twice and the new changes will take
affect.

Thanks for the reply, however, as many times as I would reload the extension it
would still return the original code until I did something seemingly unrelated
like change a menu.

I have found a temporary fix it seems, though. I created a command that
basically opens a window and calls window.close() onLoad. It happens so fast
that you don't even see the window and seems to refresh the DOM just like I
need. I am still open for better methods, though!

It's just a shoot in the dark, but I would guess you are assigning the DOM
to a global variable inside your extension, do you?
Keep in mind that global variables inside extensions persist for the whole
DW session, so they stick even if you close and reopen your extension during
the same DW's session.

Hope it will help
