UI Script trigger

[swamy_in]

How is a UI Script actually triggered? If a Global UI Script is written and is Active does it get triggered on each iframe/page load? I understand it may not be the optimal way of implementing a change - but wanted to understand where and how the UI Script is being triggered.

Ui Script can trigger each and every page if it is active .

a UI script will be triggered for every page AND iFrame. so if you have a page with an iframe, this will be run twice

Thanks - that helps. Will it be "loaded" twice or "run" twice - say   if there is a UI Script that has functions which are getting invoked only from within a page [UI page] present within an iframe?

so, if you have a page with an iframe and the only content in your script is alert('ui script ran') you will see 2 alert messages. the functions will be available to call site wide say you just have a declaration for

function test(){

        alert('test function');

}

this will be available to be called in both the main page and the iframe.

hope this helps
