Bit #1 - Adding Javascript to a template definition

The proper way to add scripting to a template definition is to add it in a <af:resource> tag of type javascript. This tag resides anywhere inside the template defition tag <af:pageTemplateDef>. Adding scripting to the template definition in any other way, for example by placing it inside a <script> tag, will produce undesired effects related to resizing of components within the template.

Example:

  <af:pageTemplateDef var="attrs" id="someId">
      <af:form id="formid">
          ...
      </af:form>
      <af:xmlContent>
         ...
      </af:xmlContent>
       <af:resource type="javascript">      
            function someFunction()
           {
               ...
           }   
      </af:resource>
  </af:pageTemplateDef>
