results.replaceWith(mysnippet); This last script loads a snippet into a variable and retrieves an
element from the snippet using query().var mysnippet = loadhtml('snippets/text-root-wrapped.html');
var subject = query("#subject", mysnippet).text(); results.append("<p style='font-weight: bold;'>" +
subject + "</p>");loadhtml(location, selector)Retrieves specific content from the specified HTML
file.locationString containing a path that can be absolute or relative to the section/context. Use
snippets/<snippet-name> to retrieve the content from an HTML file residing in the Snippets folder
on the Resources panel.In order to retrieve files from outside the template, the file protocol is
supported as well as the http/https protocols.The complete syntax of a fully qualified URL with the
"file" protocol is: file://<host>/<path>. If the host is "localhost", it can be omitted, resulting in
file:///<path>, for example: file:///c:/somefolder/somecontent.html.When using the http/https
protocol, remember that only absolute paths are supported inside remote snippets (see
Skin/Formats/CrossReferencePrintFormat("Remote snippets" on page1)).selectorString. The
supplied selector should conform to CSS selector syntaxand allows you to retrieve only the content
of matching elements.ExamplesThis script loads a specific element from a snippet and uses that to
replace the results (the HTML element or set of HTML elements matched by the selector of the
script; see Skin/Formats/CrossReferencePrintFormat("results" on page1)).var mysnippet = loadhtml
('snippets/snippet-selectors.html','#item3'); results.replaceWith(mysnippet);This script loads the
children of the selected element.var snippet = loadhtml
('file:///C:/Users/PParker/Documents/Example.html','foobar').children(); results.replaceWith
(snippet);The next script loads a remote snippet (see Skin/Formats/CrossReferencePrintFormat
("Remote snippets" on page1)), looks for an H1 heading and uses that text.var post = loadhtml
('snippets/post.rhtml');var h1 = query('h1', post).text();results.text(h1);Another example is given in
the following how-to: Using a selector to load part of a snippet." on page1)); for JSON, use
loadjson() ("loadjson()" on page1151).
Tip
External content is not loaded while editing a script. To test a script that loads external content, you
can do a preflight; see "Preflight" on page732.
loadtext(location)
Returns the content of a text file. The file extension doesn't have to be .txt. It may also be a
