Note: Thescriptsineachofthemainfolders-Control,StandardandPostPagination-are
executedtop-to-bottom.Theycanbedraggedupordowninthepanetochangetheirorderof
execution.Forexample,content-loadingscripts(snippetswithvariabledata,forinstance)must
comebeforescriptsthatreplacedatawithinloadedcontents.
TheScriptpaneallowstoaddandeditscriptsandtomanagescripts,orinstancebyorganizingthemin
subfoldersandenabling/disablingthem(see"Managingscripts"onpage814).
Scriptscanbeexportedandimportedviathebuttonsorthroughdrag&dropbetweentheScriptspane
andanylocationonthecomputer.
Note: ScriptsincludedontheScriptspanearecompletelydistinctfromtheJavaScriptresources
foundinthe"Resourcespane"onpage978(see"UsingJavaScript"onpage512).
Thinkofscriptsasserver-sideinthesensethattheyareexecutedthroughtheConnectmodules
(ServerandContentCreationespecially).ScriptshaveaccesstothewholePlanetPressConnect
JavaScriptAPI(see"StandardScriptAPI"onpage1169),suchastherecordobject.
JavaScriptresources,ontheotherhand,areonlyexecutedafterthecontentcreationisdone,
generallyinabrowser.
