In R4 the possibility to add your own javascript code has returned. Welcome back! In this entry (and the following ones) I will try to dig into what’s new and where you have to pay attention.
At first – if you watched the introduction video for R4 – it sounded like the HTML-item just got replaced with the new custom control. So, what’s the fuzz about?
Basically it’s not that simple. There are actually 3 types now:
- HTML- item: for your basic HTML and CSS needs
- Custom control object (new): Provide your own user interface
- Page module (new): Basically javascript code, which affected the whole page
