Customizing can be done in several different ways. It is important to consider all the alternatives available when deciding on a method to accomplish form customization. Choosing an approach that is part of the product is a better choice since released versions undergo rigorous quality assurance testing. Custom behavior can be added to forms using JavaScripts, which will accomplish the task but are not subjected to formal testing. These customizations should only be used under special situations and if there is no other way to customize the form to the requirements. Here are some real world situations where a custom JavaScript can be used in a form. The Custom Java code can be added to the form using the Message Control or the custom.js file in a Theme. Refer to Customizing Behavior for more information.
