Call JavaScript

The Call JavaScript action lets you use the Behavior inspector to specify that a custom function or line of JavaScript code should be executed when an event occurs.

To use the Call JavaScript action:

1 Follow steps 1 through 3 of the procedure in Attaching a behavior.
2 Select Call JavaScript from the Actions pop-up menu.
3 Type the exact JavaScript to be executed or the name of a function.
For example, to create a Back button you might type if (history.length > 0){history.back()}. If you have encapsulated your code in a function, type only the function name (for example, goBack()).
4 Click OK.
5 Check that the default event is the one you want.
If it isn't, select another event from the pop-up menu. If the events you want are not listed, change the target browser in the Events For pop-up menu.
