12 Presentation Title | Presentation Subtitle | © 2006 by «Author»; made available under the EPL v1.0 12 Scripting  BIRT JavaScript  Based on Mozilla Rhino - This is Server Side Scripting not Browser Based Scripting  Two types of Scripting  Expression Scripts - Scripts that return a data value. Available in the Expression Builder.  Element Scripts – JavaScript methods that are called on events. Customize the behavior of the Report. Available in the Script view. Context of when the event occurs is important.  Both types have access to the same scripting objects.
