JavaScript Editor

Both JPad Pro and SitePad Pro support editing JavaScript. The built-in JavaScript support includes editing, smart indent, and syntax coloring for the *.js and *.script file types. Additional JavaScript file types can easily be added. JavaScript editing is also support in <script> type tags in both HTML and XML file types.

If you need to log results in JavaScript embedded in an HTML based file use the following to get an Output object:

var gHost = window.exeternal.Host;
var gOutput = gHost.getOutput();
// Write data to the Results tab in the IDE
gOutput.writeLine(data);

Note that the above code will only work in the preview pane in SitePad Pro. It will not work in a standalone browser.

To run JavaScript within the IDE just copy the code to a script file and then add a function DoCommand(). The DoCommand function will be called when you run the script.
