Step 3 of 20
Now that you have opened the document it is time to select which applet (application) to add to it. Locate the Application Explorer on the right side of the screen and click on an application under the Applets node (you will have to expand the Applets node first). For this example we will use the Banner application.

Step 14 of 20
Now that we have changed some values let us view the Banner applet in the current document. Click the Refresh button on the sidebar.
Previous | Next

Step 15 of 20
Notice in the Browser Preview Window at the bottom of the screen that the applet is now present and displaying the values that we set.
Previous | Next

Step 16 of 20
Lets assume that at the moment we are satisfied. Currently the applet has been added to a temporary file (which is also being displayed) but since we like what we have done click the Save button on the sidebar to apply the applet to the actual document.
Previous | Next

Step 17 of 20
We should also test the current document in another browser to see how it really shapes up. Under the Commands menu click the Test menu item. The browser specified in your Preferences will launch with the current document displayed.
Previous | Next

Step 18 of 20
If satisfied we could now close the document or move on to another application and the applet would remain there. Lets assume we have become unsatisfied with the applet in the current document and wish to return the document back to how it was when we brought it into Java Script It!. To do so click on the Revert button located on the sidebar.
Previous | Next

Step 19 of 20
Notice that the applet has been removed and the document is back to it's original state (see the Browser Preview Window). When you use Revert it automatically saves the real document back to it's original state as well as the temoporary file used for display.
Previous | Next

Step 20 of 20
To illustrate a new feature in Java Script It! rather than closing the document lets choose another Applet from the Application Explorer. After clicking on Slide Text we could alter it's values and apply it to the current document the way we did with the Banner applet. Also, please note that we could change applications even if we didn't revert. Once you are done with a document you could open a new document up by clicking the Open button, return to the Start Menu by clicking the Close button or just exit the program.
