To incorporate a Javascript script library

  2. Place the cursor where you want to incorporate the library. For:
    • Inline script libraries, click the design element's background
    • A script that should be associated with the JS Header object, select JS Header from the Objects list in the Programmer's pane
  3. Choose Create - Resource - Insert Resource from the menu.

    The Insert Resource dialog box displays.

  4. Select Javascript Libraries from the Resource type list.
  5. Select the library from the Available resources list and click Ok.

    If you created an inline script library, a script icon displays on the design element.

    If you created a script library associated with the JS Header object, a button displays in the Programmer's pane labeled with the script library's name.
