JavaScript and XPages reference
This reference describes the JavaScript™ language elements, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and other artifacts that you need to create scripts, plus the XPages simple actions.
JavaScript™ language elements (JavaScript™)
The JavaScript™ language elements are based on the ECMAScript Language Specification Standard ECMA-262 (see http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm). The JavaScript described here applies to the server-side interpreter. Client-side scripts are interpreted by the browser.
Embedding Java™ in JavaScript™
Java™ code can be embedded directly into JavaScript™ code.
JavaScript™ keywords and Java™ methods
You cannot use JavaScript™ keywords in Java™ syntax even if the word is legal in Java.

JavaScript™ keywords and Java™ methods

You cannot use JavaScript™ keywords in Java™ syntax even if the word is legal in Java™.

For example, delete is a JavaScript™ keyword so the following syntax is not legal:

myObject.delete(params)

In this case, the workaround is to use the property syntax to call the method:

myObject["delete"](params)
