If you are an advanced user, you can insert a script using JavaScript, VBScript, or JScript into your topics. You can insert a script directly into a content file (e.g., topic, master page) with the user interface or directly in the markup (which allows you to place the script within the <head> tags). If you insert a script into a topic, it is used just for that topic; if you insert a script into a master page, it is used for all topics associated with that master page.
how to insert a script with the user interface
- Open the content file (e.g., topic, snippet).
- In the XML Editor, place your cursor where you want to insert the script.
- Select Insert > Script. The Insert Script dialog opens.
- From the Language drop-down menu, select text/javascript, text/jscript, or text/vbscript.

Do one of the following:
-
In the Script Code area, type the code for the script.
OR
- Next to the Script Link field, click the Browse button to find and select a script file.
-
-
Click OK. The script is added to the topic, with the script icon displayed at the spot of the insertion.
