dreamweaver.getElementRef()

Availability 2.0
Description Gets the Netscape or IE object reference for a specific tag object in the DOM tree.
Arguments NSorIE, tagObject
The first argument must be either "NS 4.0" or "IE 4.0". The DOM and rules for nested references differ in Navigator 4.0 and Internet Explorer 4.0. This argument specifies for which browser to return a valid reference.
The second argument is a tag object in the DOM tree.
Returns A string representing a valid JavaScript reference to the object, such as document.layers['myLayer'].
Dreamweaver returns correct references for Internet Explorer for A, AREA, APPLET, EMBED, DIV, SPAN, INPUT, SELECT, OPTION, TEXTAREA, OBJECT, and IMG tags.
Dreamweaver returns correct references for Navigator for A, AREA, APPLET, EMBED, LAYER, ILAYER, SELECT, OPTION, TEXTAREA, OBJECT, and IMG tags, and for absolutely positioned DIV and SPAN tags. For DIV and SPAN tags that are not absolutely positioned, Dreamweaver returns "cannot reference <tag>".
Dreamweaver does not return references for unnamed objects. If an object does not contain either a NAME or an ID attribute, then Dreamweaver returns "unnamed <tag>". If the browser does not support a reference by name, Dreamweaver references the object by index (for example, document.myform.applets[3]).
Dreamweaver returns references for named objects contained in unnamed forms and layers (for example, document.forms[2].myCheckbox).
Enabler None.
