Hi!
> I am a qooxdoo newcomer and have a frustrating > problem with external script files. > [...] First, welcome to qooxdoo! :-) Don't worry, looks like you hit a very powerful feature: when generating the "build" version of your app, qooxdoo analyzes all the JS classes, detects any references to classes and then excludes the unneeded classes from the optimized final script file. Think of a parser + compiler + optimizer + linker. This is done automatically, so you don't have to fiddle with any manual "require" or "include" statements. What I assume in your case is that the qx.ui.tabview.* calls are solely in your external script file, right? So the dependencies to those classes are never detected. The question is why you would use such an independent JS file instead of enhancing the existing main application class or adding new application classes, respectively. When developing all your code within a regular qooxdoo "skeleton", you immediately take advantage of all the tooling, not only build process, but generating API docs, unit testing and much more. Make sure you follow and understand each step of http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/helloworld Bye, Andreas PS: A hack for your problems (that I shouldn't probably mention at all) could be to add the following line to your app class (do you understand why?) and regenerate the build: qx.ui.tabview.Page; But that's clearly not the way to go. Don't tell anybody ;-) > I am including a external script file by using the line > > <script type="text/javascript" src="script/screen.js"></script> > > in source/index.html. > > screen.js contains the function initScreen(), which includes among > others the statements > > page[0] = new qx.ui.tabview.Page("Startseite"); > page[0].setLayout(new qx.ui.layout.Canvas()); > > I invoke initScreen() in Application.js and all is fine.
