This section lists only those scripting objects that are
available for HTML forms and (deprecated) Guides, along with any
scripting properties and methods that each object supports for those
output formats. For a complete, alphabetic list of scripting properties
and methods, and their availability in HTML forms and Guides, see Scripting Properties and Scripting Methods.
Note: Scripting properties and methods listed as Not
applicable do not have any logical meaning within the specified
output format. For example, Guides do not contain a concept of pages,
so properties or methods related to information about form pages
do not apply. These properties and methods will fail gracefully
and will not generate errors or return exceptions.
