Does NetSuite officially allow DOM manipulation through client scripts? I’m referring to using JavaScript to access or modify the DOM of standard NetSuite pages (e.g., forms, sublists) — for example, injecting HTML elements or dynamically changing field layouts via document.querySelector, etc. Is this considered supported behavior, or is it something to avoid?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations extracted from the Slack threads, it appears that while DOM manipulation is technically possible in NetSuite using SuiteScripts or other methods such as jQuery, it is generally not recommended. The main reasons for this are: 1. It can potentially interfere with the normal functioning of NetSuite's standard pages. For example, changing a form before submitting it can cause unexpected behavior or errors. 2. It can affect performance, as injecting HTML into the DOM can be resource-intensive. 3. It is considered a form of "hacking" and may be prohibited by NetSuite's terms of service. In summary, while you can use JavaScript to access or modify the DOM of standard NetSuite pages, such as injecting HTML elements or dynamically changing field layouts via

document.querySelector

, this is not considered supported behavior and is generally something to avoid. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
