Server Behaviors 153
copyServerBehavior()
Availability
Dreamweaver UltraDev 1
Description
Implementing copyServerBehavior() is optional. Users can copy instances of the specified
server behavior. In the following example, this function is implemented for recordsets. If a user
selects a recordset in the Server Behaviors panel or the Data Binding panel, using the Copy
command copies the behavior to the Clipboard; using the Cut command cuts the behavior to the
Clipboard. For server behaviors that do not implement this function, the Copy and Cut
commands do nothing. For more information, see “How the Server Behavior API functions are
called” on page 149.
The
copyServerBehavior() function should rely only on behavior object properties that can be
converted into strings to exchange information with the
pasteServerBehavior() function. The
Clipboard stores only raw text, so
participant nodes in the document should be resolved and
the resulting raw text should be saved into a secondary property.
Note: The pasteServerBehavior() function must also be implemented to enable the user to paste the
behavior into any Dreamweaver document.
Arguments
serverBehavior
serverBehavior
is a JavaScript object that represents the behavior.
Returns
true if the behavior copies successfully to the Clipboard; false otherwise.
