| + | ===== Modern Syntax ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In version 11.0, scripts default to Modern Syntax, which essentially wraps the script in: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ```javascript | ||
| + | (function () { | ||
| + | … | ||
| + | })() | ||
| + | ``` | ||
| + | |||
| + | This helps keep your script from interacting with the web page in unexpected ways. A result of this is that you need to return values to the action using the `return` syntax. So a trivial action would be: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ```javascript | ||
| + | return "Hello"; | ||
| + | ``` | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can turn Modern Syntax on or off in the popup menu next to the script. | ||
