Adding JavaScript files to the Resources
Adding a JavaScript file

l

Double-click it to open and edit it.
l Alternatively, drag and drop the JavaScript file from the Windows Explorer to the
JavaScript folder on the Resources pane.

Adding a remote JavaScript file
A Remote Javascript Resource is a file that is not located within your template but is hosted on
an external web server (generally called a CDN). When generating Web output, these files are
referenced in the web page's header and are served by the remote server, not by the Connect
Server module.
There are a few advantages to using remote resources:
l These resources are not served by your server, saving on space, bandwidth and
processing.
l Using a popular CDN takes advantage of caching - a client having visited another
website using that same CDN will have the file in cache and not re-download it, making
for faster load times for the client.
To add a remote javascript:
1.
Right-click the Javascript folder on the Resources pane, and click New Remote
Javascript.
