Shared javascript functions

Hi,

I have a function that I use time and again and I want to use it on several controls so I'd rather just define it once and then call so I only need to write it once. How do I go about doing this? There seems nowhere on the xpage view to define commonly used javascript functions like you would on a html page. Just some links would work.

Many thanks!

:-)

Adam.

Hello Adam,

First of all you need to create a Script Library (Application -> Code -> Script libraries). When creating one you can choose to use JavaScript (for clientside libraries) or Server JavaScript (for server side functions).

You can then add the script library you created to an XPage (or Custom Control) using the "Resources" property.
