JS ActivateTabData.new

Help & Support
1

When using JS how do we access new property on ActivateTabData, ActivateTabData.new? I tried in this script but I received an error because new is a reserved word.

You can use a Javascript trick to workaround that, by using a string for the method name:

// Called when a tab is activated function OnActivateTab(activateTabData) { DOpus.Output("Old = " + activateTabData.old.path); DOpus.Output("New = " + activateTabData["new"].path); }

Ah yep that works. Thanks Mate.

I guess its to late to consider different names like "previous" and "current".

We could add them as synonyms.
