"I got out of the Army after 10 years as a Military Policeman. I spent the last 2 years in the Army teaching basic computer programs such as MS Office and making various web sites for the Army. Since I got out, I have taught myself JavaScript and I am learning Python 2.2 in my spare time."

Overview
This script demonstrates one possible method of using JavaScript button events to control Activ Scripts linked of a form's buttons.
Requirements
Instructions - In the <HEAD> section of one of your HTML files add the following code.
- In the <BODY> section include the following:
This example opens Notepad from the e-book, but modifying the example could enable to other things.
- It is also possible to set up more than one button that does different things then they will have to do something like this:
- Editor's Note: Another method of implementing the same/similar functionality would be to use the METHOD= parameter of the <FORM> to run a script (similar to the example in the Help). Additionally instead of using window.location to run Activ Scripts, this could be done using window.external.ActivRun.
Notes - This script has been tested with Activ E-Book Compiler versions 4.20, 4.21 and 4.22 (4.22 is the latest version at the time of writing). It is possible that changes might be required for e-books made with subsequent versions.
- This script will not work with versions of Activ E-Book Compiler prior to 4.20.
