Javascript support

Javascript support

[Michal Kvasnicka]

Good evening (or whatever it is)!

I'm pretty excited that ConTeXt can include the Javascript to a pdf
document.
But I'd like to know more:
    1) what can be done with this technology (for example, is it
possilbe to construct
        curves via JS and draw them?)
    2) how to use it.
The Up-to-date-001 shows just the TeX's side. I'd like to know the JS
gan gather
information from the check boxes, radio boxes, fill-in-field, whether
there can be
some timer to start a Javascript let's say every five minutes and so on.

Is there some further documentation?

Many thanks

Michal Kvasnicka

That is not possible with javascript.

There is a javascript/pdf manual at the adobe site. Furthermore you need
the ecmascript manual as reference.
