decoration','underline'); results.replaceWith(mysnippet); This last script loads a remote
snippet into a variable and retrieves an element from the snippet using query().var
mysnippet = loadhtml('http://www.somewebsite.com/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)).To quickly get
the location of an HTML snippet in the template resources, right-click the snippet in the
Resources pane and select Copy Resource Location.The path to a remote HTML snippet
can be copied from the snippet's properties: right-click the snippet in the Resources pane
and select Properties.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1285).
Tip
External content is not loaded while editing a script. To test a script that loads external
content, you can do a preflight; see "Doing a Preflight" on page865.
