How can i control form in a page for my extensions ?

Like this
"Please create a form before apply Insert Record" etc..

1. You get the DOM of the current document with :
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>var theDOM = dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM("document";</font id=code></pre id=code>
2. Then you check if there is any FORM tag within the document with :
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>var formArr = getElementsByTagName('FORM');</font id=code></pre id=code>
3. If the array is empty (<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>formArr.length==0</font id=code></pre id=code> then there is no form tag in your document.
If there is , then the formArr is an array containing all the nodes referencing to the form tag of your document.

Shouldn't it be:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
var theDOM = dreamweaver.getDocumentDOM("document";
var formArr = theDom.getElementsByTagName('FORM');
if (formArr.length ==0) {
alert("Please create a form before apply Insert Record"
}</font id=code></pre id=code>

Wasn't it what I wrote ? You put the code, I put the explanation <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

No your code was incorrect... you did not use the DOM as you wrote:

var formArr = getElementsByTagName('FORM');

instead of

var formArr = theDom.getElementsByTagName('FORM');

I know it was just a typo <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Oh thanx...
Also i use that : it works...

if(dw.getDocumentDOM().getElementsByTagName("FORM".length &lt;= 0){
alert("Create a form first";
}

How can i learn more about UD Dom system but must be from basics.

The "Extending Dreamweaver And Ultradev" document is the place you'll find all functions of the DOM.

You can access it in Dreamweaver by the Help Menu -&gt; Extending Dreamweaver

The function of the DOM and DREAMWEAVER are all described in the chapter JavaScript API.

Soul, the UltraDev DOM and all it's methods are documented by Macromedia in the book that Maehdros mentioned. BUt that book really only just is a list of all the functions. You really should feel comfortable in using javascript before you dive into it. And even then that Macromedia Book is not easy to use.

Tom Muck has written a nice book for everyone who is starting to develop dreamweaver extensions. Read more about it here: www.UDzone.com/go?726
