API in Focus II

This is a follow up to the "API in Focus" blog article, an idea we introduced on April 27th 2007.

We slightly changed the concept and are now planning to cover the content in two articles and in a shorter time frame than originally anticipated. We figured that it would be better to provide more content at a time, instead of spreading it out over a longer period.

The enclosed link allows you to download the first half of a document, covering the overall subject of "HTML and URL Parameters Supported in Design Review 2008". We are still waiting for sample code for the second half and will publish it as soon as we have received it.

HTML and URL Parameters Supported in Design Review 2008 Part 1 of 2

The enclosed content covers the following subjects and provides sample code for:

• BackColor
• HyperlinkColor
• PaperColor
• ObjectHighlightColor
• ObjectSelectedColor
• LayersOff
• LayersOn
• LayersExpression

The use of the HTML/URL parameters in your APIs lets you control the look and feel of the UI, as well as control the user's initial view of the DWF.

By using the parameters, you can accomplish these tasks without having to do additional coding in JavaScript.

I just took a quick peek at the document and all of the sample code is VBSCRPT! All of the headers say JavaScript code but the sample are very much VB. Will there be JavaScript posted in the final docs?

Thanks
