What's in a name?

This app note discusses how to name objects and reference object from scripts, listeners, and layout rules.

It covers direct references by name, anonymous reference by node type (e.g. page.visible), and anonymous relative references (e.g. parent.iw).

Note: in SHIP 5.1.125, the anonymous keyword "next" was added and supported. Now you can forward reference siblings using ".next" just like you referenced prior siblings using ".previous". Of course, you cannot have circular references, but this makes many widgets far easier to construct.
