UPal - The Script Programming Interface

Introduction

To use the UPal Programming Interface, you must know at least one script language: JavaScript or VBScript.

You script programms are run in the UPal scripting environment. The environment provides you with a upal object. With the upal object, you can:

• Access the document object of the current Web page;
• Create ActiveX objects;
• Use the UPal Text Window and other facilities.
