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.

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.
    - import (JavaScript)
      Imports code from a script library.
  - 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 IBM® 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.

Statements (JavaScript)

JavaScript™ statements consist of keywords and syntax.

A single statement may span multiple lines.
Multiple statements may occur on one line separated by semicolons.
A semicolon may optionally terminate the last statement on a line.

See the ECMA specification (http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm) for a description of the statements. Note the following exceptions:

import (implementation-specific) is supported to import code from a script library. See import (JavaScript).
export (implementation-specific and not in the ECMA standard) is not supported.
label (not considered good programming) is not supported.
