Hi there, If you let mason handle your javascript file, you can perfectly use mason stuff inside it (here you would use <% $color %> in your javascript file for instance) .
Assuming your component is withing one of your mason root directory. - If you call it like '<& /js/validateForm.js , color => 'blue' &> then mason will handle it as it was a normal mason component. - Otherwise, if you want to call it like '<script src="/js/validate.js?color=blue">' , then you have to do a bit of apache configuration to tell apache to handle this ressource with mason: <LocationMatch "^\/js\/\.js$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler </LocationMatch> This is actually how it works. You just tell apache to handle ressources with mason. It can be .jpg , .html, .myext , .xml , etc. etc. . It doesn't matter (Well as long as mimetypes are set properly). To avoid slowing down plain static javascript serving, you may have to change all your dynamic javascript to a 'dynjs' directory. As well, you may want to add an autohandler that inherits from nothing in your dynjs directory if you have a autohandler in your / - Alternatively, you may want to call validate.js validate.html so you dont need to do any apache conf. Hope it helps. Jerome.
