SCRIPTit

SCRIPTit offers you an interface enhancement plug-in that uses XML for defining script events and dynamic popup menus. With this plug-in you can define script events that happen immediately, at any future time, or on any repeating interval.

SCRIPTit menus are particularly exciting because they can appear anywhere on your layouts and whenever the user chooses a menu item, SCRIPTit will run a script in your database.

Dynamic popup menus can have any number of menu items, and any number of cascading sub menus. Menu items can be bold, italic, underline, or any combination of those styles. Menu items can have check marks, round bullets, and diamond shaped bullets. The entire appearance of any menu item can be changed at any time, including enabling and disabling items.

The concept of using XML may seem daunting at first, however we have gone to great lengths to make sure the XML is easy to learn. For a good SCRIPTit XML reference, take a look at the SCRIPTit documentation, or view the SCRIPTit functions.

A few possible uses: ￭ Slim down navigation interfaces with menus ￭ Run a script when a field value changes ￭ Run a script when a user exits a field
