ExportUI.jsf

// -*- javascript -*-
// Install this in your FireWorks extensions directory.
// It exports all elements with a targetText attribute. It also expects that the elements to
// export are instances of a symbol type.
//
// For instance, create a symbol of type "knob", and place several instances of it on your
// UI with targetText attributes pointing to the string name of the parameter that knob controls.
