Zoom functions

Zoom functions zoom in and out in Design view.

dreamweaver.activeViewScale()

Availability

Dreamweaver 8.

Description

The activeViewScale property gets or sets a mutable floating-point. When you get the value, Dreamweaver returns the scale of the active view as it appears in the Zoom combo box, divided by 100. For example, 100% is 1.0; 50% is 0.5, and so on. When you set the value, Dreamweaver sets the value in the Zoom combo box. The value can be between 0.06 and 64.00, which correspond to 6% and 6400%.

Example

The following example gets the value of the scale of current view. It also zooms in if it can and if the scale is less than or equal to 100%:

if (canZoom() && dreamweaver.activeViewScale <= 1.0) {
zoomIn();
}
 if (canZoom() && dreamweaver.activeViewScale <= 1.0) { zoomIn(); }
 if (canZoom() && dreamweaver.activeViewScale <= 1.0) { 
    zoomIn();     
    }

The following example sets the value of the scale of current view to 50%:

 dreamweaver.activeViewScale = 0.50;
 dreamweaver.activeViewScale = 0.50;
 dreamweaver.activeViewScale = 0.50;
