I'm a beginner at javascript, so this question will probably be quite
simple.
I've been using TurboGears with MochiKit and I've been trying to do
simple JSON. However, for the longest time, the MochiKit functions
just would not work. Below is a simplified version of what I had:
-------------------
page.html:
<html>
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="/tg_js/MochiKit.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/static/javascript/post.js"></script>
...
<body>
<p>View the <a href="#" onclick="requestPageList()">complete list of
pages.</a></p>
</body>
...
post.js:
function requestPageList() {
var d = loadJSONDoc("${std.url('/pagelist', tg_format='json')}");
d.addCallback(showPageList);
}
function showPageList(result) {
...do something
}
-------------------
Basically, in my TurboGears, calling /pagelist would return a bunch of
dict(pages=pages). I know that that stuff works perfectly.
But the loadJSONDoc would never actually run (and I know that its
deferred and all that, but eventually, I would assume it would work).
I know that the paths were correct because I included alert("asdf");
things all over and they were working perfectly.
Then, I tried putting the javascript embedded in page.html, like so:
-------------------
page.html:
<html>
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="/tg_js/MochiKit.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/javascript/post.js">
function requestPageList() {
var d = loadJSONDoc("${std.url('/pagelist', tg_format='json')}");
d.addCallback(showPageList);
}
function showPageList(result) {
...do something
}
</script>
...
<body>
<p>View the <a href="#" onclick="requestPageList()">complete list of
pages.</a></p>
</body>
...
-------------------
Basically, I copied the contents of post.js into the <script...>
</script> tags and suddenly everything worked.
Does anyone know why this is the case? I really want to put javascript
into its own .js file rather than embedding it.
Thanks!
