BBjSysGui::injectScript

Description

In BBj 21.10 and higher, this method injects the specified JavaScript into the web page (see Remarks), making it available for subsequent use by BBjSysGui::executeScript.

Syntax

Return Value Method
void injectScript(string script)
void injectScript(string script, boolean top)

Parameters

Variable Description
script JavaScript to be injected into this web page.
top

A boolean value specifying whether this script is to be injected into the top level window of the page.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

In BBj 22.02 and higher, a subset of this functionality is available in the GUI client. Because the client isn't a web page, user-facing components, including Window, Document, and functions like alert, aren't available.
