Table Of Contents
The following script loads a snippet into a variable and finds/replaces text in the variable before
inserting the content into the page. The second find command also adds formatting to the
replacing text.
var mysnippet = loadhtml
('file:///C:/Users/PParker/Documents/Example.html');
mysnippet.find('@var1@').text('OL Connect 1');
mysnippet.find('@var2@').html('<i>OL Connect 2</i>').css('text-
decoration','underline');
results.replaceWith(mysnippet);
This last script loads a remote snippet into a variable and retrieves an element from the snippet
using query().
var mysnippet = loadhtml('http://www.somewebsite.com/text-root-
wrapped.html');
var subject = query("#subject", mysnippet).text();
results.append("<p style='font-weight: bold;'>" + subject +
"</p>");
loadhtml(location, selector)
Retrieves specific content from the specified HTML file.
location
String containing a path that can be absolute or relative to the section/context.
Use snippets/<snippet-name> to retrieve the content from an HTML file residing in the
Snippets folder on the Resources panel.
In order to retrieve files from outside the template the file protocol is supported as well as the
http/https protocols.
The complete syntax of a fully qualified URL with the "file" protocol is: file://<host>/<path>. If
the host is "localhost", it can be omitted, resulting in file:///<path>, for example:
file:///c:/somefolder/somecontent.html.
When using the http/https protocol, remember that only absolute paths are supported inside
remote snippets (see "Remote snippets" on page283).
