Stylus Module

The Stylus Module is used to enable or disable the touch screen.

Syntax

stylus (Module) <META> Syntax

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Stylus" content="[method]">

Stylus JavaScript Object Syntax:
By default the JavaScript Object 'stylus' will exist on the current page and can be used to interact directly with the stylus.
To Invoke stylus methods via JavaScript use the following syntax: stylus.method();

e.g. stylus.enable();
To set multiple EMML parameters / events on a single line use the following syntax: stylus.setEMML("[Your EMML Tags]");

e.g. stylus.setEMML("enable");
Stylus Ruby Object Syntax:
By default the Ruby Object 'Stylus' will exist on the current page and can be used to interact directly with the Stylus. All Methods, Parameters and Events are the same as JavaScript, however, notice 'Stylus' needs to start with an uppercase letter. Another difference in Ruby is that methods do not end in '()'
To Invoke Stylus methods via Ruby use the following syntax: Stylus.method()

e.g. Stylus.enable
