Hello everybody,
I want to add a clock which shows the system time to a pdf file.
And I have read the ``art-calc.pdf'' and ``mwidget-p.pdf'' to find
some approaches but failed shamely. I am indeed new at ConTeXt and
JavaScript. Before I'm shocked by ConTeXt, I used LaTeX for about 2
years, so I'm confused with the conventions between ConTeXt and LaTeX.
My code is here:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startJSpreamble functions used now
function do_digit(d)
{ Stack[Level] += String(d);
do_refresh(Level) }
\stopJSpreamble
\startJScode{digit}
do_digit(JS_S_1);
\stopJScode
\definefield[Stack.1][line][Results][][
\setupfield
[Results]
[horizontal,frame]
[width=fit,
height=2cm,
frame=on]
[height=18pt,width=80pt,align=middle,frame=off]
[height=18pt,width=80pt,color=red,align=right,style=type,frame=off]
\setupbuttons [background=infobutton]
\starttext
Click \button{7}[JS(digit{7})] will get
\field[Stack.1]
\stoptext
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I only copied these codes from "art-calc.pdf" so there must be some
other critical concepts that I haven't realized. Please point them to
me. Thanks

I don't have the time right now for more than this short tip. If you
work with JavaScript you should open the JaveScript Debugger (CTRL-J in
Acrobat; in the Adobe Reader hit CTRL-K and check "Show console on
errors and messages" in the JavaScript categorie) to see the warnings
and error messages. You also should insert some log messages in your
code. For example
console.println("do_digit("+d+") at page "+[this.pageNum]);
at the start of your function do_digit. This helps a lot to see what is
going on.

It's so kind of you. Your example really helps me 'cause I can learn
javascript and ConTeXt by books but there are few materials about how
to associate them.
Still, I'm sorry I have to open a new thread. I don't know how to
reply under you, it's sad.

Thank you very much Peter.
I've inserted these code and when I open my pdf file in Acrobat
Reader, it crashed :(. But this is not a big deal, I modified it and
it's working, but it only tells me that:
do_digit(7) at page 0
and the field never changes. I guess I have to specify some link
between the JavaScript variant and the ConTeXt. Can you give me just
one simplest example that shows JavaScript code
var tempstring = "Yes";
in pdf file? Or you could think I'm very boring so can you just
suggest some materials that I can find these techniques?
