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.
  - DOMAttr (JavaScript)
    Represents an attribute of an element.
  - DOMCDATASection (JavaScript)
    Represents a CDATA section.

    Represent a collection of nodes.
  - DOMNode (JavaScript)
    Represents a node in the Document Object Model.
    - appendChild (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Appends a child node.
    - cloneNode (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Clones a node.
    - getAttributes (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Gets the attributes of an element node.
    - getChildNodes (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Gets a list of the children of a node.
    - getFirstChild (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Gets the first child of a node.
    - getLastChild (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Gets the last child of a node.
    - getLocalName (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Gets the local part of the qualified name of a node.
    - getNamespaceURI (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Gets the namespace URI of a node.
    - getNextSibling (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Gets the next node at the current level.
    - getNodeName (DOMNode - JavaScript)

      Gets the previous node at the current level.
    - hasAttributes (DOMNode - JavaScript)
      Checks if an element node has attributes.
    - hasChildNodes (DOMNode - JavaScript)
