JavaScript and XPages reference
This reference describes the JavaScript™ language elements, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and other artifacts that you need to create scripts, plus the XPages simple actions.
- JavaScript™ language elements (JavaScript)
  The JavaScript™ language elements are based on the ECMAScript Language Specification Standard ECMA-262 (see http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm). The JavaScript described here applies to the server-side interpreter. Client-side scripts are interpreted by the browser.
- Simple actions (JavaScript)
  A simple action performs a pre-programmed activity that can be modified by arguments.
- Global objects and functions (JavaScript™)
  Global objects provide entry points to server-side scripts. Entering the name of a global object instantiates it.
- DOM (JavaScript)
  Represents a document in XML Document Object Model format.
- Domino®
  This library provides access to the IBM® Domino® back-end.
  - NotesACL (JavaScript™)
    Represents the access control list (ACL) of a database.
  - NotesACLEntry (JavaScript™)
    Represents a single entry in an access control list. An entry may be for a person, a group, or a server.

  - NotesDirectory (JavaScript™)
    Represents the Notes® directories on a specific server or local computer, each of which is associated with one or more directory navigators to allow directory lookups.
  - NotesDirectoryNavigator (JavaScript™)
    Allows lookups of a specific associated Notes® directory on a specific server or local computer.
  - NotesDocument (JavaScript™)
    Represents a document in a database.
  - NotesDocumentCollection (JavaScript™)
    Represents a collection of documents from a database.

  - NotesEmbeddedObject (JavaScript™)
    Represents any one of the following: An embedded object An object link A file attachment Note Embedded objects and object links are not supported for OS/2, UNIX™, and the Macintosh. File attachments are supported.
  - NotesForm (JavaScript™)
    Represents a form in a database.
  - NotesIDVault (JavaScript™)
    The NotesIDVault class is a representation of the secure storage facility for UserIDs that may be configured for Domino by policy. IDs are stored there to allow for easier management by administrators and users. IDs from more than one server may be stored within an IDVault. The NotesIDVault class provides methods to access UserID files, UserID objects, query the presence of an ID in the vault, sycnronise copies of IDs, and reset passwords. The NotesIDVault class can be used to access UserID objects or files. These can be used to accomplish the encryption or decryption of Documents while running on the server.
  - NotesInternational (JavaScript™)
    Represents the international settings in the operating environment, for example, the Regional Settings in the Windows™ Control Panel. When settings change in the operating environment, Notes® recognizes the new settings immediately. For remote (IIOP) operations, these settings represent the session's server.
  - NotesItem (JavaScript™)
    Represents a discrete value or set of values in a document. The client interface displays items in a document through fields on a form. When a field on a form and an item in a document have the same name, the field displays the item (for example, the Subject field displays the Subject item). All items in a document are accessible programmatically, regardless of what form is used to display the document in the user interface.
