Before We Begin

Before we begin this tutorial, there are just a few things you should know.

Writing the Code

The intention of this tutorial is not to show you how to write JavaScript or JQuery. Instead, it assumes you already have some script that you've already written or obtained from another source.

JavaScript Used in This Tutorial

The JavaScript used in this tutorial lets you provide functionality for a couple of custom buttons in a topic toolbar.

The first custom button opens the end user's email client with a new email automatically populated with an email address, subject, and default text. This lets the user send you feedback about a particular topic.

The second custom button can be used to open an external website (e.g., company Help ticket page) or file (e.g., PDF) in another window.
