Examples

This script looks up an image in an element with the ID #calloutbox and sets its alternative text

to a value from a data field

var altText = record.fields.FavHobby;

query("#callout img").attr('alt', altText);

The following script sets the background color of a specific table cell in an email to red if the

value of the field TOTAL has a negative value in the current record.

if(record.fields.TOTAL<0) {

query("#total").attr("bgcolor","red");

}

before()

Insert content before each element in the set of HTML elements that match the selector of the

script or of another query in the template (see "query()" on page462). See also: "after()" on

page428.

before(content)

Before(content) inserts content before each element in the set of elements that match the

script's selector. Before() creates a new result set.

content

String, HTML string or result set to insert after the elements. In case a plain text string is

provided, it is automatically wrapped in a <span> element to avoid orphan text nodes to

appear in the <body> element.

Examples

This script looks for an element with the ID salesrepand inserts a paragraph before that

element.

results.before("<p>Lorem Ipsum</p>");
