Creating HTML- and JavaScript-Based Pagelets
You can create homepage pagelets based on HTML or JavaScript, as well as HTML objects. Rather than using PeopleTools to accomplish this, you can use the Manage HTML Pagelets page delivered with the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub. This page is designed specifically to transform your HTML or JavaScript code into a pagelet for display within the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub.
