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.
- 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.

  - XSPContext (JavaScript™)
    Represents the context in which the server script is running.
  - XSPUrl (JavaScript™)
    Represents a URL.
    - XSPUrl (XSPUrl - JavaScript™)
      Creates an XSPUrl object.
    - decodeParameter (XSPUrl - JavaScript™)
      Decodes a parameter.

      Removes all query string parameters.
    - removeParameter (XSPUrl - JavaScript™)
