== Description ==
== Description ==


This [[API_reference|API]] method loads an external resource, such as an external JavaScript routine, and returns the string for use in the DOM.
Given a defined [[Metadata Block#.40resource|@resource]], this method returns it as a string.

Compatibility: [[Version_history#0.8.20080609.0|Greasemonkey 0.8.0+]]

: <code>String</code> The name provided when the [[Metadata Block#.40resource|@resource]] was defined, follow that link for valid naming restrictions.

==== <code>resourceName</code> ====
:Value: String
:Usage: <code>'''resourceName''' = "metadata_block_resourceName";</code>
:* While the resourceName is non-semantic, it is suggested that it should be compatible with JavaScript variable naming conventions and XML/CSS naming conventions to help keep things consistent.
:* This value is used in retrieval of the same-named resource specified in the corresponding [[Metadata_block |metadata block @resource]] key. After it is retrieved, no formatting on the resource will occur, and it will be returned upon completion of this API method.
