Path functions 335
dreamweaver.getTempFolderPath()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
Gets the full path to a temporary folder where you can store temporary or transient files. This
function looks for a Temp folder inside the Dreamweaver Configuration folder. If the system
supports multiple users, it looks in the user’s Configuration folder. If a Temp folder does not
exist, the function creates it. Shared files that are not transient should be stored in the
Configuration/Shared folder.
Arguments
None.
Returns
The full path to the folder, which is expressed as a file:// URL.
Example
The following line of code returns the full path for the specified file. The
dw.getTempFolderPath() function does not return a slash (/) at the end of the path, as do
other Dreamweaver functions (such as
dreamweaver.getSiteRoot()):
var myTempfile = dw.getTempFolderPath() + "/myTempFile.txt";
dreamweaver.relativeToAbsoluteURL()
Availability
Dreamweaver 2.
Description
Given a relative URL and a point of reference (either the path to the current document or the
site root), this function converts the relative URL to an absolute file:// URL.
Arguments
docPath, siteRoot, relURL
■ The docPath argument is the path to a document on the user’s computer (for example,
the current document), which is expressed as a file:// URL or an empty string if
relURL is
a root-relative URL.
