Table Of Contents

var promoTxt = loadhtml('snippets/promo-en.html', '#' +

record.fields['YOGA']);

results.html(promoTxt);

The following script loads a snippet. Then it looks for a placeholder (@var2@) in the text of that

snippet and replaces every found placeholder by the text 'OL Connect 1'. It uses html()

so the HTML formatting ( and ) will indeed be interpreted as HTML. Finally, it places the

snippet in the template.

var mysnippet = loadhtml('snippets/snippet.html');

mysnippet.find('@var1@').html('OL Connect 1');

results.replaceWith(mysnippet);

overflows()

The overflows() method returns a boolean value indicating whether an HTML element

overflows its box boundaries.

This function could for instance be used in a design where content needs to flow separately

from the main text flow, or where a new, full-page, multi-column box should be inserted when

the current one overflows.

Note that when called in a Standard script, this method runs before the pagination of Print

output. After pagination - in the output, and in Preview mode - the element's overflow may have

changed, especially when the element is combined with floating elements (i.e. elements that

have the CSS style float) and located near a page-break.

To prevent this from happening, it may help to set the element's CSS style to overflow:hidden.

The overflows() method can also be used in a Post Pagination script.

Tip

You don't need a script to resize text in order to make it fit in a box. The Copy Fit feature

automatically scales text to the available space (see "Copy Fit" on page757).

Examples

var $box = query("#mybox");

while ( ! $box.overflows()) {

//do something

}
