l
Selector: Uses CSS selectors to find the element to which the script applies
l
Text: Uses text as a trigger for the script. The script applies to all instances of the text
found in the template.
l
Wizard Results: Displays a list of the data that is sent to replace the content that matches
the script's selector:
l
Prefix: Static text to use before the set field. For example in Dynamic Image scripts,
the default prefix is images/.
l
Field: A drop-down to select which field contents to use in the script. The field
should contain a valid value. For an email script, for example, the field would have
to contain an email address.
l
Format: A special formatting modifier applied to the Field; see "Formatting variable
data" on page252.
l
Suffix: Static text to use after the set field. For Dynamic Image Scripts, the default
suffix is .jpgand refers to the file extension.
l
[+]: Adds a new line to the Wizard Results. Note that by default there is no line return
between fields in the list. Adding <br> in the Suffix or Prefix field can establish a line
return.
l
[-]: Removes the currently selected line in the Wizard Results list.
l
Arrow Up: Moves the currently selected line up one position.
l
Arrow Down: Moves the currently selected line down one position.
l
Options (only available in the Text Script wizard and the Dynamic Image wizard):
specifies where and how the script inserts its results:
l
As HTML. HTML elements in the results are processed and displayed as HTML
elements. For instance, <b>this is bold</b> will be displayed as this is
bold. This is the default setting.
l
As text. This inserts the results as-is, meaning HTML tags and elements are
displayed as text in the output. In this scenario, "<br>" shows up in the text and does
not insert a line break.
l
As the value of an attribute of an HTML element. The selector of the script should
be an HTML element. Which attributes are available depends on the selected
HTML element. If the script's selector is an image (<img> element) for example, and
the attribute is src, the script will modify the image's source. The script's results
should be a valid value for the chosen attribute.
