BW Core Javascript

BW Core Javascript (version: 4.2)

To start, there are some custom standard functions applied to some HTML elements.

Every website loads in a bwcore.js file. It includes a number of commonly used functions and provides a stable basis for all websites. We have included FastClick to speed up response times for touches as clicks on mobile devices and isMobile.

window.bwcVars
