BBjSysGui::executeScript

Description

In BBj 21.10 and higher, this method executes the specified JavaScript in this web page (see Remarks).

Syntax

Return Value	Method
Object	executeScript(string `script`)

Parameters

Variable	Description
script	JavaScript to be executed in this web page.

Return Value

This method returns the execution result, converted from JavaScript to Java. If the return value is a JavaScript type that can't be represented as a Java type, a simple String representation is returned.
