Examples
Replace elements with a snippet
The following script loads a snippet and then replaces the elements matched by the script's
selector with the snippet.
var snippet = loadhtml('snippets/mysnippet.html');
results.replaceWith(snippet);
Replace elements with a set of snippets
The following script loads snippets and adds their elements to a new, empty result set (using
query()). Then it replaces a placeholder in the template with the set of snippets.
var chapters = query();
for ( var i = 1; i <= 4; i++) {
chapters = chapters.add(loadhtml('snippets/Chapter' + i +
'.html'));
}
results.replaceWith(chapters);
results
The results object (type: QueryResults) contains the HTML element or set of HTML elements
matched by the selector of the script. The selector of a script can be specified in the Script
Editor and is visible in the second column of the Scripts pane, next to the name of the script.
If, for example, a script would have the selector p.onlyCanada, the script would apply to all
paragraphs that have the class onlyCanada. (Classes can be defined in the Attributes pane at
the right: select the element in the content and type the class(es) in the Class field.)
The script could then use the results object to hide or show those paragraphs, depending on
the value of the data field Country in the current record:
if (record.fields["Country"] == "CANADA") {
results.show();
} else {
results.hide();
}
