An external JavaScript function can be called by a behavior on an app or report. The app or report can be embedded in a Web page with the JavaScript code included in that Web page or DOM functions can also be used.
This opens paths for integration. For example, the user can write a JavaScript function that makes AJAX calls to retrieve data from a server (using a proxy page). The app or report can then call this JavaScript function to indirectly retrieve this data from the server, instead of using PerfectApps built-in Connection features. You can also invoke browser functions directly as in the following example:
Document.getElementbyid(‘TextFieldName’)
Instead of:
Function GetTextFieldName(fieldName){
return document.getElementbyid (fieldName);
}
It is advisable that users be familiar with HTML and JavaScript concepts before attempting to integrate their apps and reports with Web page code. The World Wide Web Consortium contains extensive tutorials on the capabilities of JavaScript and JavaScript functions. JavaScript Tutorial
