**This is an old revision of the document!**

The Execute JavaScript in Custom Prompt action allows you to execute a specified JavaScript, either from a file or text within a currently open Custom HTML Prompt. The JavaScript is executed in all Custom HTML Prompt action with a matching windowid, or all if no windowid is specified. The JavaScript can return results. Options for the results of a JavaScript results are:

  • ignore results.
  • display results in a window.
  • display results briefly.
  • display results large.
  • type results.
  • paste results.
  • save results to variable.
  • save results to the system clipboard or a named clipboard.
  • save results asynchronously — the action runs while the macro continues on.

If the results are to be saved to a variable or a clipboard then further text areas appear in the action allowing you to specify the variable or specific clipboard.

The JavaScript can access variables by using the window.KeyboardMaestro functions described in the Custom HTML Prompt action.
