HTML Pages Usually, a client-side application is an instance of Autodesk MapGuide Viewer that is displayed in an HTML page by means of the , , or tag. ( is used for the Netscape Plug-In, for the ActiveX Control, and for the Java edition.) The HTML page might contain form elements (such as buttons and list boxes) and code that access the web browser API and the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API. You can also display the map full-screen (not embedded in an HTML page) by using the tag in an HTML page and creating a link to the MWF. For more information, refer to the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API Help. Web Browser Scripts Autodesk MapGuide supports the following HTML scripting languages: JavaScript. JavaScript is a full-featured scripting language that supports the Netscape Plug-In on the Windows platform and the Java edition on the Windows and Sun Solaris platforms. JScript. JScript is Microsoft's variant of the JavaScript language. It supports the ActiveX Control and Java edition for Internet Explorer on Windows platforms. Throughout this book, we will often refer to JScript and JavaScript collectively as JavaScript. VBScript. VBScript is a Visual Basic-derived language that supports the ActiveX Control for Internet Explorer on Windows platforms. You can use these scripting languages to access the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API and the Netscape and Internet Explorer browser APIs. The scripts can range from a single line to complex client-side map applications. For more information, see "Choosing a Viewer/Browser Environment" on page 59, and refer to the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API Help. Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API Autodesk MapGuide Viewer exposes an object-oriented programming interface (API) that gives you programmatic access to Autodesk MapGuide Viewer functionality. For example, you could create a redlining application that would give users the ability to digitize features and add notations to a map. You can access the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API from a browser script or from a stand-alone application you create that hosts the Viewer. The API is available when you install any of the Autodesk MapGuide Viewers. For more information, refer to the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API Help. Application Development Components | 37
