registerTag Method

This method registers any HTML tag or attribute that is not considered by translator for translation.

Syntax

object.registerTag(sTagName, sAttributeName [, bIsXhtml]);

Parameters

Parameter

Description

oTagName

Optional. String that specifies the name of the tag that needs to be registered with the translator component.

sAttributeName

Required. String that specifies the name of the attribute added.

bIsXhtml

Optional. Boolean that denotes whether the translatable value for the tag at run time should be taken as text or XHTML.

true - Attribute is an HTML element.
false - (Default) Attribute is a text.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

By default translator comes with support to minimum HTML tags with their attributes or properties which can be translated. The new tags are registered using this method. After registering, the translator considers the element for translation at run time. If the parameter 'tagName' is not specified, then the 'attributeName' specified will be taken as a common one for all the translatable elements.

Example

The following example shows how the registerHTML method is used to register an option of the context menu to the translator component.

//translator is the id of the translator component
translator.registerTag(myTag, myAttribute, false);
