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.
