Examples
The following script attaches a PDF file named letter-CU00048376.pdf to each generated
email. The PDF file is located in the Images folder on the Resources panel.
results.append("<link rel='related' href='images/letter-
CU00048376.pdf'>");
If that same file would be located on the C: drive, the script should refer to it as follows:
href='file:///C:/letter-CU00048376.pdf'.
The link doesn't have to be static; you could use data from the record set to build the link, for
example:
var customerID = record.fields.ID;
results.append('<link rel="related" href="images/letter-' +
customerID + '.pdf">');
Content elements
Once you have created template, it can be filled with all kinds of elements, from text to barcodes
and from tables to fields on a web form. All types of elements are listed on this page; see below.
There are several ways to insert elements, see "Inserting an element" on page120.
Each element can have an IDand a class, as well as a number of other properties, depending
on the element's type. When an element is selected, its properties can be changed; see
"Selecting an element" on page121, "Attributes" on page119 and "Styling and formatting an
element" on page122.
When you add elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file. It is possible to edit the source of the HTML file directly in
the Designer; see "Editing HTML" on page119.
Element types
The following types of content can be added to the content of a template:
