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.

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.
  - Statements (JavaScript)
    JavaScript™ statements consist of keywords and syntax.
  - Operators (JavaScript)
  - 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.
  - @Functions (JavaScript)
    @Functions emulate their counterparts in Notes®.
  - Implied variable typing (JavaScript)
    You can associate a variable with a data type to document your code and direct content assist.
  - Embedding Java™ in JavaScript™
    Java™ code can be embedded directly into JavaScript™ code.
- 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 HCL Domino® back-end.
- Runtime (JavaScript)
  The Runtime library contains classes that provide useful methods for globalization.
- Standard (JavaScript)
  The Standard library contains classes for manipulating data of different types and performing common operations.
- XSP (JavaScript™)
  The XSP library contains classes that access the browser context.

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.

The following table lists the language elements:


Language element	Description
Statements (JavaScript)	Keywords and syntax that form the framework of a script.
Operators (JavaScript)	Symbols and keywords that assign, compare, and combine values.
Top-level functions (JavaScript)	Functions not associated with any object.
@Functions (JavaScript)	Functions that emulate HCL Notes® @functions.
Implied variable typing (JavaScript)	Ability to associate a variable with a data type to document your code and direct content assist.
Embedding Java in JavaScript	Ability to embed Java™ code.

This documentation refers to the following products: HCL Domino®, HCL Notes®, HCL iNotes®, and HCL Traveler.
