The order in which scripts are executed is particularly important when one script produces
content that contains a selector for another script. If the other script has already been executed,
it will not run again automatically. So, scripts that produce content that contains one or more
selectors for other scripts, need to come first.
To change the order in which scripts are executed:
l
Click a script or a folder in the Scripts pane at the bottom. Drag it up or down and drop it.
Note
Control scripts are always executed first, regardless of where they are in the Scripts pane.
They can not be excluded from execution for a specific context or section, using the
execution scope of a folder; see "Execution scope" on the next page. What you can do is
disable the script or the containing folder; see "Enable/disable scripts" on page386.
Script folders
Scripts can be organized in folders. Why would you do that? For three reasons:
l Folders have an execution scope. You can specify for which contexts and sections the
scripts in a folder have to run.
l Folders provide a better overview than a long unorganized list of scripts.
l Folders make it easier to change the order of execution for a bunch of scripts (see:
"Changing the order of execution" on the previous page to learn why the order of
execution is important). Dragging a folder up or down will cause all the scripts in that
folder to be executed earlier or later, respectively.
To make a new folder on the Scripts pane:
1.
In the Scripts pane, click the black triangle on the New button.
2.
Click Folder. The folder will appear in the list of scripts.
3.
Change the name of the new folder: right-click the folder and click Rename.
4. Drag scripts to the folder.
