2.5    Scripts

A document may contain several scripts in different scripting languages. Each script is represented by a <office:script> element. All these script elements are contained in a single <office:scripts> element.

Scripts do not imply a scripting language or an object model. A script can for instance operate on the Document Object Model (DOM) composed from the XML representation of a document in OpenDocument format (see [DOM2]), or on an application specific API.

Scripts cannot modify a document while the document is loading. However, some events are called immediately after the document is loaded.

In addition to <office:script> elements, the <office:scripts> element may also contain an <office:event-listeners> element which contains the events assigned to the document itself. Examples for these are events called when the document is opened or closed. See section 12.4 for more information on the <office:event-listeners> element.
