Global Variables and Special Functions ​

HCL Domino Leap is restricting access to some JavaScript global variables and functions. On the other hand, HCL Domino LEap adds some functions that are not available for classical JavaScript DOM manipulation.

Available Global Variables ​

Here are the global variables that can be accessed within the sandbox:

element ​

This is the root element of the sandbox. Sandboxed elements are restricted from accessing relational properties such as parentNode, firstSibling, nextSibling, etc. However, DOM methods and string properties like innerHTML are still usable. The style object is accessible and modifiable.

document ​

This represents a sandboxed document object offering node creation and basic element searching capabilities. The sandboxed document includes methods like getElementById, createElement, createTextNode, and write.

Available DOM functions and constructors ​

The following standard JavaScript DOM functions or constructors, and their child functions when applicable, might be called. They can be used only in call position. They cannot be accessed in any other way. They generally behave as the standard JavaScript function, unless otherwise noted:

List of functions and constructors
  • isNaN
  • isFinite
  • parseInt
  • parseFloat
  • escape
  • unescape
  • encodeURI
  • encodeURIComponent
  • decodeURI
  • decodeURIComponent
  • alert
  • confirm
  • prompt
  • Date
  • RegExp
  • Error
  • Number
  • Math
  • setTimeout - This only accepts a function, not a string.
  • setInterval - This only accepts a function, not a string.
  • clearTimeout
  • clearInterval

Special functions ​

The following functions for DOM manipulation and extra language features are provided by the Dojo library. This represents a safe subset of Dojo.

All Dojo library functions are provided as top-level functions. Namespacing is unnecessary because scripts do have access to modify the global object and can't define global variables. Thus, you can call Dojo functions directly, for example, mixin(obj, mixinObj). You might also use the traditional syntax (dojox.mixin(...)).

Available Functions:
  • mixin
  • require
  • isString
  • isArray
  • isFunction
  • isObject
  • isArrayLike
  • isAlien
  • hitch
  • delegate
  • partial
  • trim
  • connect
  • disconnect
  • subscribe
  • unsubscribe
  • Deferred
  • toJson
  • fromJson
  • style
  • attr
  • query - This only searches within the sandbox.
  • byId
  • body - This returns the root element of the sandbox
