Furthermore, this isn't JavaScript + DOM like in a web browser. There are no DOM methods available in the installer's JavaScript sandbox. Instead, there are a small number of utility functions available under the global 'system' object. FYI: Incidentally, the documentation for the distributions and for the JavaScript objects are documented here: http://developer.apple.com/reference/DeveloperTools/ idxFilesSoftwareInstallation-date.html (It's also in your (Leopard) Developer Documentation on your hard drive. I keep a Safari toolbar shortcut to it.) Actually, this is one of the issue with the documentation. Previously, the documentation related to Software Installation was found in http://developer.apple.com/reference/UserExperience/ idxFilesSoftwareInstallation-date.html. And sure you can find the Installer JavaScript Reference documentation there too. But nothing for the Distribution Script reference (which is outdated or missing multiple attributes and tags).
