Development:JavaScript functions

If you want to see which javascript functions are available on a Moodle page you can use FireFox extension WebDeveloper: Information > View Javascript.

Some things that can be there:

/lib/javascript-static.js
// Miscellaneous core Javascript functions for Moodle
function popupchecker(msg) {
   var testwindow = window.open('itestwin.html', , 'width=1,height=1,left=0,top=0,scrollbars=no');
   if (testwindow == null)
       {alert(msg);}
   else {
       testwindow.close();
   }
}
...

and

lib/overlib.js
