Hey all, trying to incorporate my javacript that works on static pages that I’ve created locally.  However seem to be having problems.  I’m sure it’s releated to the way EE references the path to the javascript.

what I’ve done:

In the template group i’ve created a new template called tz.js.

Normally you would access it this way:

How do you specify it in EE to load the file.

thanks.

Weird I cannot find this in the docs. There is a page about linking to stylesheets but nothing about Javascript.
So make that 2 who are curious

You do it the way you posted in your first post.  Only, instead you can put the JS into a template of type javascript, then use:

Alternatively, you could just use a a slash at the beginning and give it a root-relative URL

Clocked in under 2 minutes, thanks a lot Lisa!

thanks for the info Lisa.  Put me in the right direction.

This hasn’t worked for me. Here’s my code:

I have a JavaScript template called supersleight-min in the site template group. The template has nothing but straight js in it. The code that is being spit out in the source is this:

Am I missing something?

I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for but it might be an alternative worth investigating… I like to keep anything not directly related to dynamic content (ie. javascript, CSS, PHP classes) out of EE and I include my javascript in templates like that:

I don’t seem to have any problem with this setup, and it’s a little more flexible that /file.js depending on your setup…

Or you could take it a step further and wrench all javascript files out of EE and upload them via ftp and reference to them via an absoloute path from your template. I’ve encountered a lot js misbehaviouras if I let EE deal with my javascript. Especially, if you’ve got more than one js file that you want to play with.

Also, a word of warning on a bug I encountered with supersleight.js on IE6: it clashes with Mark Hout’s handy Geo Coding plugin.
