JavaScript Workbench

JavaScript is a scripting language that is used to make web pages dynamic. We have adopted it for use in ASI WebLink. This section contains pages that illustrate how to write some JavaScript code, and provides the means to test it here in the VAR Center. You can take what you learn here, and apply it to your WebLink projects.

Code Samples

The code samples listed below each have their own page, describing how to use them. They also may have an area where you can experiment with the code.
