Examples
The following script attaches a PDF file named letter-CU00048376.pdf to each generated
email. The PDF file is located in the Images folder on the Resources panel.
results.append("<link rel='related' href='images/letter-
CU00048376.pdf'>");
If that same file would be located on the C: drive, the script should refer to it as follows:
href='file:///C:/letter-CU00048376.pdf'.
The link doesn't have to be static; you could use data from the record set to build the link, for
example:
var customerID = record.fields.ID;
results.append('<link rel="related" href="images/letter-' +
customerID + '.pdf">');
Web
With the Designer you can create one or more Web templates and merge the template with a
data set to generate personal web pages.
The Web context is the Web output channel and the folder in the Designer that can contain one
or more Web templates. CaptureOnTheGo templates are a special kind of Web templates. They
are stored in the Web folder as well.
The Web context outputs one HTML web page that contains the HTML text and all the
resources necessary to display it. JavaScript files are added to the <head> in the generated
HTML file. They are useful to add special features such as those offered by jQuery and its
plugins, or MooTools. Style sheets are also added to the <head> and are used just as they
would be used in a regular web page.
It is advisable to follow design guidelines for web pages, so that they are likely to look good in
different browsers and on different devices and screen sizes. When you start with a Web
Template Wizard, the Foundation framework is added to the template, to guarantee just that;
see "Creating a Web template with a Wizard" on the facing page and "Capture OnTheGo
template wizards" on page368.
