JavaScript PowerPac v10.18 Released with Powerful NEW functions

We are pleased to announce version 10.18 of the JavaScript PowerPac for ToolBook. We are really excited about this release of the PowerPac!

TWO POWERFUL NEW FUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN ADDED!!
Seriously, take a look at how COOL these new functions are!

  1. setBrowserWindowStyles()
    Have you ever wanted to do more with the browser window area behind the ToolBook page? Perhaps tile an image or stretch a photograph? What about changing the browser area color based on the location of the student in your course? This function allows you to dynamically do that and much more!

  2. setPageContentPosition()
    Have you ever wanted to position your ToolBook content at a fixed position in the browser window and override the default page centering? How about making the ToolBook page background translucent or transparent so your page and background objects appear drawn and positioned right in the browser window area? This function can dynamically do that and more.
