Table Of Contents
the host is "localhost", it can be omitted, resulting in file:///<path>, for example:
file:///c:/somefolder/somecontent.html.
When using the http/https protocol, remember that only absolute paths are supported inside
remote snippets (see "Remote snippets" on page612).
Examples
This script loads a local HTML snippet (from the Resources panel) directly into the matched
elements
results.loadhtml("snippets/snippet.html");
The following script loads a local HTML snippet (Resources panel) into a variable. The
replaceWith() command is used to replace the element(s) matched by the script's selector with
the contents of the snippet.
var mysnippet = loadhtml('snippets/snippet.html');
results.replaceWith(mysnippet);
Same result as the previous script, but a different notation:
results.replaceWith(loadhtml('snippets/snippet.html'));
The following script loads a snippet into a variable and finds/replaces text in the variable before
inserting the content into the page. The second find command also adds formatting to the
replacing text.
var mysnippet = loadhtml
('file:///C:/Users/PParker/Documents/Example.html');
mysnippet.find('@var1@').text('OL Connect 1');
mysnippet.find('@var2@').html('<i>OL Connect 2</i>').css('text-
decoration','underline');
results.replaceWith(mysnippet);
This last script loads a snippet into a variable and retrieves an element from the snippet using
query().
var mysnippet = loadhtml('snippets/text-root-wrapped.html');
var subject = query("#subject", mysnippet).text();
results.append("<p style='font-weight: bold;'>" + subject +
"</p>");
