Note
JavaScript files that are linked to (i.e. included in) a section show a chain icon in the
Resources pane (see "Resources pane" on page977).
Note
Any JavaScript files included in a section run after the scripts in the Scripts pane.
Using JavaScript in other contexts
Email clients do not support JavaScript. Therefore, Email contexts cannot include JavaScript
resources.
When a JavaScript file is included in a Print section, the Designer itself acts as the browser.
When generating Print output, it runs the JavaScript after generating the main page flow
contents and the pagination. So it is possible to change the Print output by a JavaScript; for
example, to add a barcode that includes the page number to each document. A warning is
appropriate, however: changing the Print output may change the page flow and doing so at this
point may result in bad output and/or serious errors or a crash of the software.
Previewing a template with JavaScript resources
When a section is previewed in the Designer, scripts in the Resources pane are interpreted by
an internal browser.
JavaScript resources included in a Web section are only executed on the Live tab, not on the
Preview tab.
Remember that the final output of a Web section is eventually processed by a client browser.
