Two recommendations, assuming the Javascript file isn't meant to be
modified at runtime:
First, use an absolute path to the file in your script tag, ie:
<script src='/static/clock.js'> or use $c->uri_for() to compute the
path.
An absolute path like that assumes your app will always be deployed
at /.
My experience is that every time I think I -can- make that
assumption, later
I end up really wishing I could deploy my app to a sub-URL for
testing or
similar.
You may not have such bad luck, but I don't like to take that chance
these days :)
I understand, and of course you're right about that. I have had that
bite me once. I was definitely going for the quick fix here.
Since uri_for() won't help with static file paths, is there any
convention for storing the path for static files in the config, or
getting access to it in some other way?
