Split Javascript function

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hi,

I would like to split my javascript extension into function.

Currently I have my extension defined like this:

Qva.LoadScript(template_path + 'tinydropdown.js', function () {

Qva.AddDocumentExtension('dropdownMenu', function(){

Qva.LoadCSS(template_path + "tinydropdown.css");

var _this = this;

var mydoc = Qv.GetCurrentDocument();

_this.Document.SetTabrowPaint(paintNav);

var tabrowDiv = document.getElementById("Tabrow");

tabrowDiv.removeAttribute("class");

});

I would like to externalize these lines into a function:

_this.Document.SetTabrowPaint(paintNav);

var tabrowDiv = document.getElementById("Tabrow");

tabrowDiv.removeAttribute("class");

I have tried but it is not working.

Could you please help me?

Thanks

Hi Alexandre,

Can you share what you did to try and do this?

It should work fine as long as you're calling it etc

{

var _this = this;

var mydoc = Qv.GetCurrentDocument();
