TAD Docs

ALL these macros are executed as JSONP (so you can use the localhost server on any web page, even those on regular Internet websites) ALL these macros use the “GET” method, and do not return any sensible values (may change in future version of this fetaure)

Assuming you have started the localhost server from your TAD running at 9600 port, the general syntax for calling any macro is :

https://localhost:9600?actHelpContents Will make TAD display the help contents. The return Javascript function that is called is always the following function call:

doneTAD(Debug)

where Debug is a Javascript Object array; which in this version is simply the data the server had received in its header. So if you want to use it as JSONP, then ensure that you define a function in javascript in your webpage before using the localhost server.

Some of the macro functions require some additional data. Explained in the list shown below.

Since many of these macros would run ONLY when there is some TAD model being edited, it is best that the macros are started AFTER you have started a new or loaded a previous TAD model.

The macros can be chained together, delimited by the pipe character (|)

If you just called the server thus: https://localhost:9600 (i.e. without the query_string parameter) then it will simply call the tutorials
