results.css('color', 'red')
It does this for each and every customer, because it does not depend on a value from the
record that is being merged to the template.
Using values from the record in a script
To access the record that is being merged to the template when the script runs, use the
object record.
Suppose you want to display negative amounts in red and positive amounts in green.
Assuming that there is an AMOUNT field in your customer data, you could write the
following script (with the selector: td.amount, that is: table cells with the class 'amount').
var amount = record.fields.AMOUNT;
if (amount >= 0)
{results.css('color', 'green');}
else if (amount < 0) {
results.css('color', 'red');
}
When this script executes, it stores the value of the AMOUNT field from the current record
in a variable and evaluates it. If the value is zero or higher, the color of text in the results -
the table cells in this case - will be set to green; if the value is below zero, the text color
will be set to red.

conditions.
Designer API
Features like results and record do not exist in the native JavaScript library. These are
additional JavaScript features, designed for use in Connect scripts only. All features
designed for use in the Designer are listed in the Designer's API, with a lot of examples;
see "Designer Scripts API" on page465.
