Is it Possible to use JQuery in Thingworx Services?

[Braden]

In my services, if I try to do:

Assumption for this post:

#id is valid.

$("#id").show(); <-- I get the error ReferenceError:  "$" is not defined.

Alternatively, if I do:

document.getElementById("id").style.display = "block"; <-- I get the error ReferenceError:  "document" is not defined.

Thingworx Services run on Server Side not on Browser Runtime...

Then how do I identify an on-screen element since there is no way (that I am aware of) to run code through the mashup?  It would be disappointing to have to use validator widgets since it would be very simple to do programatically.

Thank you!

No way to run code on Browser side rather than Expression and Validators, but it's not necessary dot.

Thank you for the reply.  What do you mean, "Not necessary" ?

Not necessary more than expression and validator widget in 99.9% of cases
