Possibly. Go to your project's Properties dialog and look for the
Javascript Libraries page. From Libraries tab you'll want to "Add
Runtime Library...", and choose the Base Web Browser Library. That
should make available the browser objects you're used to seeing.

I think "document" is a variable only available if you set the super
type to a web Browser object. I don't know what "Document" refers
to, but I'm guessing it is a W3C DOM object, but then I'm not an
expert in Javascript. For all I know they're unrelated.

Thanks Bradley! By selecting the project and going into
Properties->JavaScript Libraries -> Global Order/Super Type and changing
the dropdown at the bottom of that page to "Window" I now have my little
example working.
I'll comment though that this isn't at all obvious (apparently <g>). So
there's some usability concern around getting novice developers going
quickly.
Thanks again,
Kevin McGuire
