/**
 * Javascript based calculated field algorithm builder.
 *
 * <p>With this algorithm the user can implement it's own algorithm directly in
 * javascript and directly inside the form definition.</p>
 *
 * <p>The syntax is as follows:
 * <pre>
 *   &lt;fd:value type="javascript" triggers="items,price,discount"&gt;
 *     var price = parent.lookupWidget('price').getValue();
 *     var items = parent.lookupWidget('items').getValue();
 *     var discount = parent.lookupWidget('discount').getValue();
 *
 *     if (discount == 'completelyfree') return 0;
 *     var total = price * items;
 *     if (discount == 'halfprice') return total / 2;
 *       return total;
 *   &lt;/fd:value&gt;
 * </pre>
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>From inside the javascript function the following objects are accessible:
 *   <dl>
 *     <dt>form</dt>
 *     <dd>The form object.</dd>
 *     <dt>parent</dt>
 *     <dd>The parent widget. This is very useful in repeaters, since the parent is the repeater row.</dd>
 *     <dt>cocoon and other FOM objects</dt>
 *     <dd>This are accessible only when flowscript is in use (see bug COCOON-1804)</dd>
 *   </dl>
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>As you can see, the function must return the calculated value, and not set this
 * directly in the widget. This way the value can be converted correctly if needed.</p>
