You
must call a function that displays the floating panel, either
dw.setFloaterVisibility(floaterName,true) or dw.toggleFloater(floaterName).
Most often, these functions are called from a tag in the menus.xml file, like the following
custom floating panel:
command=???dw.toggleFloater(???helpBuilder??™)???
checked=???dw.getFloaterVisibility(???helpBuilder??™)??? />
The checked attribute ensures that a checkmark is displayed next to the menu item if the floating panel is
visible.
When naming a custom floating panel, be sure to avoid names reserved for Dreamweaver??™s
built-in elements: assets, behaviors, codesnippet, CSS styles, dataSource, documenttype,
frames, helpbook, HTML, insertbar, AP elements, library, objects, or history properties, reference, samplecontent,
serverBehavior, serverFormat, serverModel, site, taglibrary, site files, site map, templates, timelines,
timelines, or toolbar.
As indicated in the preceding paragraphs, floating panels have their own API functions, and several methods
of the Dreamweaver object are applicable. The floating panel API functions, none of which is required,
are described in Table 33-4.
