Chapter 26. Using Script Components

IN THIS CHAPTER

You've seen how to create script components; in this chapter, I'll show you how to utilize them in your own scripts. There's a ton of script components on the Web that serve valuable functions, and you don't need to know much about how they work to use them in your own scripts.

In the previous chapter, I showed you how you can create your own script components. They're a great way to modularize and encapsulate your code, allowing you to easily reuse it in other scripts. However, for administrators, the real value of script components is the ease with which they allow you to use other people's work in your own scripts. In this chapter, I'll guide you through the process of locating, registering, and utilizing the script components that have been written by hundreds of other script programmers and made available on the Web.
