var table = query("table");
var rows = query("tr", table);
var cells = query("td", rows);
Since the results object also is the result of a query (for elements that match the selector of the
script), it can be passed as context. For example in a script with the selector “table”.
var rows = query("tr", results);
query(html)
Creates a new HTML element on the fly from the provided string of raw HTML, and returns the
new element.
html
A String containing a HTML element. Tags that can contain other elements should be paired
with a closing tag.
Example
The following script adds a paragraph to the results (elements that match the selector of the
script).
results.append("<p>This is a new paragraph.</p>');
Tip
The Dynamic Attachment script uses this function to add an attachment to an Email section; see
"Email attachments" on page379.
resource()
The resource() function returns information about an image resource. It can also be used to
check if a file exists.
This function is useful in a Control Script, for example to check the number of pages or the page
height and width before setting it as a background (see "Control Script: Setting a Print section's
background" on page653).
