Scripting Overview
From an implementation perspective, the following actions occur.
• When the user double-clicks the mouse or presses shift-Enter on a <date> element, a DOMActivate event is triggered.
• The script file date.js (which we named date) is executed.
• The Calendar control is displayed.
• The Calendar control is assigned the variable name cal. This lets the script have access to the control's methods and properties.
• The script method cal_OnInitialize(ActiveNode) is called.
• When the user closes the dialog box, the script method cal_OnClose(ActiveNode) is called.
