Problem with setSelection

[Spliffster]

Hello everybody,

im currently writing an extension to Dreamweaver MX 2004, what got me into
some trouble. The extension should insert some code directly behind the
Body-Tag in a normal html-page. This works by searching the source for the
Body-Tag and then set its Offset by "dom.setSelection" and insert the Code
with "dom.insertHTML". This works quite fine so far, but if im in Layout-view
it seems that the cursor-position of the Layout-view is steadily overwriting
the Offset i have set with "dom.setSelection". And there seems to be no chance
to overwrite the Offset the Cursor in the Layout-View has got. What's pretty
annoying.

I hope any of you has got some suggestions to solve this.

Greetings Spliffster.

PS: Sorry for the kind of bad english.

var dom = dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM("document");
var dwBody = dom.getElementsByTagName('body');
var Str = 'your code';
dwBody[0].innerHTML+=Str;
dwBody[0].innerHTML=Str+=dwBody[0].innerHTML;

You can use this method...

var dom = dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM("document");
var dwBody = dom.getElementsByTagName('body');
var Str = 'your code';

Then, use either of these 2 depending where you want the code inserted...

INSERT CODE AT BEGINNING OF DOCUMENT
dwBody[0].innerHTML+=Str;

INSERT CODE AT END OF DOCUMENT
dwBody[0].innerHTML=Str+=dwBody[0].innerHTML;

I had it backwards, This is correct.


INSERT CODE AT BEGINNING OF DOCUMENT
dwBody[0].innerHTML=Str+=dwBody[0].innerHTML;

INSERT CODE AT END OF DOCUMENT
dwBody[0].innerHTML+=Str;

Hi,
thanks for the answer.
I tried to solve it like this earlier, but that got me into some trouble, too.
Caused by the fact that some code may already exist, where the new code should
be added behind. Currently im using "dom.source.insert()", what's working fine
so far.

Thanks anyway.
