How to get the path of an object .htm file?

[harpo_]

Hi, I'm creating a custom Objects group, and need to keep some user-defined
settings in a .txt file. I want to keep this file in the same folder where the
..htm files are, ... \Configuration\objects\myObject\ but can't get the path
for this folder. Depending on the OS & configuration, DW may install my
files in a different folder on each system - I want to detect where this folder
is. How to do this? dreamweaver.getConfigurationPath() returns the common
folder under \Program Files\ ... - this is not where my files are installed. I
would use this folder to store my .txt file, but on 2000/XP systems restricted
users usually do not have write access for \Program Files\ and anything below.
document.location, this.location etc. return 'undefined' Please help! Thanks

You are correct that that mehod will give you a program files path,
however, because DW has to work with multiple configuration folder
locations, its function also need to be multi config folder aware. That
is, if you use:
var path = dw.getConfigurationPath() + '/Objects/myObject/settings.txt';
var mySettings = DWfile.read(path);

it will get you to the right info.
