The Configuration/Shared folder does not correspond to a specific extension type. It is the
central repository for utility functions, classes, and images that are used by more than one
extension. The files in the Configuration/Shared/Common folder are designed to be useful to
a broad range of extensions. These files are useful as examples of JavaScript techniques and as
utilities. Look here first for the functions that perform specific tasks, such as creating a valid
Document Object Model (DOM) reference to an object, testing whether the current selection
is inside a particular tag, escaping special characters in strings, and more. If you create
common files, you should create a separate subfolder in the Configuration/Shared/Common
folder, which is shown in the following figure, and store them there.
