getResource Function


value = getResource(resourceID)

resourceID: A unique identifier for the resource within the script component.

The <resource> element allows you to isolate strings or numbers in your script component that you want to intermingle with script in your script component. For example, resource elements are typically used to maintain strings that might be localized into another language. You can use the getResource function in the script component's script to extract the contents of a <resource> element.

The following script component fragment defines a resource (called errNonNumeric) and how to use it in script.

Note
A CDATA section is required to make the script in the <script> element opaque. For details, see Script Component Files and XML Conformance.
