    Does anyone have any suggestions for references on learning the version of Javascript that is supported by TF?

    Hi FourD,

    You can find out about what JavaScript is used in Tap Forms from this link:

    https://tc39.es/ecma262/

    But it’s more of a description of the language and not a tutorial.

    The Scripting topic in the manual and the API documentation should give you an idea how to go about things specifically in Tap Forms:

    You can basically use any JavaScript tutorials that are not specifically geared to programming a web browser. Or at least if you do, you can ignore the parts that refer to the DOM (document object model). Tap Forms uses JavaScript, but basically just for it’s syntax and functionality in the general sense. There is an API I added to it which gives you specific functions you can call that specifically work on your Tap Forms data.

    Here’s the API:

    Thanks!
