JavaScript Support in Domino 6
Domino 6 supports the core JavaScript Language Version 1.4, updated from Version 1.3 in R5. JavaScript 1.4 is also fully compatible with ECMA-262 and supports the 5.0 variety of browsers. JavaScript 1.5, which is found in the 6.0 flavor of browser, is not yet supported in Domino. Because the JavaScript interpreter is embedded right into Domino Designer as well as the Notes client, programmers have the language syntax and built-in classes for JavaScript all right inside Domino. If you haven't guessed yet, JavaScript is supported not only in the Web environment, but also in the Notes client. This means that any JavaScript you code for an object in Notes will work in most cases just the same on the Web. This further supports the "code once, use twice" philosophy, as well as rapid application development (RAD) that is so important to developers today.
