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.
Top-level functions (JavaScript)
Top-level functions are not associated with an object. In the ECMA specification, these functions are properties and methods of the global object.
isNaN (JavaScript)
Determines whether the result of a string parsed by parseInt or parseFloat is a valid number.
