Designer JavaScript API
In Designer templates, every bit of information can be tailor-made, using scripts. Most scripts
can be made using one of the Script Wizards (see "Personalizing content" on pageî485).
However, when you want to do more than what you can do with a Wizard, you may write a
script yourself. If you are not familiar with writing scripts, please read "Writing your own scripts"
on pageî515 first.
All scripts in the Designer have to be written in JavaScript.
If you don't know JavaScript, the many examples given in this API will help you get started.
It is worth the effort, however, to familiarize yourself with the JavaScript syntax. For a simple
script all you need to know can be found on the following web pages:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_syntax.asp and http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_if_else.asp.
Designer API
The "Designer Scripts API" on the next page describes the objects and functions that are
available in template scripts, created inside the Scripts pane. Template scripts change the
contents of sections in a template.
Control Script API
Control Scripts are a special kind of Designer Scripts. They don't touch the content of the
sections themselves, but they change the way a template is outputted, for example by selecting
or omitting sections from the output.
For more information about Control Scripts and their use, see "Control Scripts" on pageî532.
Features that are specific to Control Scripts are listed in the "Control Script API" on pageî782.
