Although the HTML Composer is fully integrated with JavaScript, it is suggested that you do not create custom JavaScript that manipulates the HTML Composer generated controls, as WebFOCUS cannot support such custom JavaScript code. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the JavaScript code will work correctly in future releases.
Note:
//End function window_onload
The HTML Composer run time will call onInitialUpdate() if it exists.
