Support for JavaScript and VBScript - Tab "Programming languages"

If you can't remember what a particular JavaScript or VBScript function is for, or you are looking for the right function for a particular task, the Programming Languages tab is very useful.

Tool description

This tab consists of a menu where you can switch programming languages and a data tree. If you select the view for JavaScript or VBScript, the tree contains branches containing a list of objects, and in the branches of each object a list of its supported methods.

The described tab can be used as a reference guide. It is not easy to remember the functions, constants and variables of JavaScript and VBScript. For elements selected in the tree, a tooltip area is displayed in the lower part of the tab, providing more information about the selected function. For example, for a Textarea object, we get a hint:

Name: Textarea
Description: Represents a multi-line edit box

You can use this tab not only as a reference tool. You can also insert selected elements into a document. You can do this in two ways: using the button on the left side of the tab or by double-clicking on the selected element. The Spider will warn you if you want to place an element in an inappropriate place.

Editing a definition file

The Definition File Editor for JavaScript and VBScript is used to edit the data that the tool uses. Using it, you can change the description of an existing function, add new functions, etc.
