I am recreating a javascript game which requires tables, but when I link my javascript file to my index.html the grid does not show on my browser, but when I directly add my javascript inside the script tag in my html, the grid shows on the browser.
Any help would be appreciated thank you!
This is my code by referencing a js file inside html(the tables do not show)
html with js link
This is my code without referencing a js file(tables do show)
html without js link
This is my main.js
main js
This is the browser without linking js file
browser without js file
This is my browser with linking js file
browser with js reference
First I linked the js file with script src=js path but it did not work but it worked when I put the javascript directly inside the html script tag. I was wondering how I can make it work with referencing a separate js file for a cleaner html code.
It's due to that your local paths are not resolving correctly. Without seeing directory structure I can't know what could be wrong.
First of all, please re-check and verify that both files main.js and index.html are in the same directory.
Alternatively, you could create folder called js inside of your main directory (where index.html is) and then move the main.js into that folder and try:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/main.js"></script>
index.html and main.js files must be at the same directory in order to include .js file as you did
<script type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script>
UPDATE (I will leave answer whole, if somebody also gets stuck, so they can troubleshoot the problem):
The reason why it couldn't resolve path is because there was blank spaces between src and = ; when giving src, that part needs to be connected.
Just like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script>
Take a look here:

I linked all the javascript files in the header.php at atime. I included header.php in all pages
When I link the javascript files like this
<script src='js/home.js'></script>
<script src='js/disc.js'></script>
<script src='js/que.js'></script>
only last file js/que.js is working.
Make sure that the 'src' is referring to the correct file directory where the script is located. If you are using an IDE such as VS, then you may drag the file into the code and the IDE will automatically create the reference for you.
Unless you have problem with directory structure or you file name does not match with src attribute of script tag, there should not be any problem with. Please try to use type="text/javascript" and make sure your script tags are after header tag or just before </body> tag. Also keep sequence of files loading if any file depends on another file variable or any function. If it still does not work use try to see if there is any error in your code in console window.
I now I'm going to get voted down for this but oh well. I don't have enough points to comment which is what I would do but..oh well.
Okay it depends on what the scripts are doing. If you link the scripts in the head for you HTML page, and try a var element = document.getElementById("theID"); this will return null due to the fact that the browser has yet to read the HTML and hasn't had a chance to create a DOM (Document Object Model) tree. For a problem like this check out
<script>
function load() {
console.log("load event detected!");
}
window.onload = load;
</script>
This will assign window to an event/callback that will be invoked after the page has had time to load.
Look at where your JavaScript is used, and what it should be doing. Would those elements be rendered yet. Are you writing functions but not actually calling them (this happens A LOT)? It would be better if you described what the code was doing and your experience with HTML and JavaScript. Remember that the browser interprets the JavaScript as it encounters it, you can put script tags anywhere in your HTML file, not just in the head. Also are the .js files in the same directory as the HTML file or are the two non working .js files in the same directory as "js/que.js"? If not move them to the same file or use a relative or absolute path.
I am trying to build a flot chart using data from Quickbase. In order to accomplish this I have to be able to reference the flot.js files. In my html page I have scripts that call the js files located in Quickbase where the src is equal to the url link to the read-only version of the js file. However, the html page does not seem to be referencing the js pages. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
Use a script similar to this, but replace the part before .quickbase, the db, and the pagename value.
<script src="https://haversineconsulting.quickbase.com/db/bipznmwx8?a=dbpage&pagename=myscript.js"></script>
Or
<script src="bipznmwx8?a=dbpage&pagename=myscript.js"></script>

I built a python app on google app engine that pulls pictures from the flickr API and allows users to do cool stuff with the pictures, like drag and drop.
I have three JS files in the body:
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/init.js"></script>
My jQuery code is working fine but only when I write it in either of the jQuery documents. If I place the code in the init.js, the code simply doesn't work, which I find rather weird. I put the code in the jquery files because I wrote console logs on the three script files and only the init.js didn't print to the console. I am linking the files correctly and referring to the right folder and right file. The folder JS was also added to the app.yaml:
- url: /js
static_dir: js
I can just leave the code in the jQuery file but this is not what I am supposed to do. I want to fix it.Is there a specific way to use the JS file on google app engine?
Use absolute paths instead of relative when loading your JS files (add the leading slash /):
<script src="/js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.js"></script>
<script src="/js/init.js"></script>
I fixed it. The problem was that I named the file init.js. For some reason Firefox doesn't like that name (at least mine didn't) and didn't load the file. Chrome loaded the file without any problems. When I changed the file name to main.js, it started working in Firefix as well. I only tried this when I had exhausted all other possible options though. Such a weird behavior of Firefox.
I have moved an large piece of JS code form my header file to it's own .js file.
I'm trying to include it with:
<script src="includes/js/test.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The JS code is not loaded, what could be wrong?
One possible reason is that the path is wrong. Remember that the path as you've written it will be interpreted relative to the current URL. So if this code appears on a page that is accessed at
http://www.example.com/example1/index.html
then the browser will request the javascript file from
http://www.example.com/example1/includes/js/test.js
which may not be what you want. A better approach may be to use a link that is based on the root: that is, if you change it to
<script src="/includes/js/test.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
then it will always look in
http://www.example.com/includes/js/test.js
no matter where the link appears.
If I had to guess based on the information you've provided, I'd say there's probably a syntax error in the external .js file or the page isn't finding the file from the URL provided. That's usually the problem I experience when I move large pieces of code from one file to another.
I got so confused loading JavaScript in Google App Engine. I am using the Django template.
First, in my base HTML file, I can't load my downloaded jQuery code from local say, d:/jquery.js, like
<script src="d:\jquery.js" type="text/javascript" ></script></head>,
This line is in my base HTML file. It works when I load jQuery from remote. Like
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"type="text/javascript" ></script></head>
I don't know why.
Second, I can't load my own-created JavaScript code to my HTML file. Say I create a JavaScript file, like layout.js, and I try to load it like this in my child HTML file, which, by the way, inherits from the base HTML.
<body><script src="layout.js" type="text/javascript"></script></body>
And it doesn't work at all. The only way it works I have tried is when I put the actual JavaScript code in the body of my base HTML file. Like
<body><script>
$(document).ready(
$("#yes").click(function() {
$("#no").hide("slow");
}));
</script>
I don't know why either... How do I fix it?
AppEngine doesn't know anything about paths on your local system; it will only upload files that you configure it to. Do this by having a line like this in your app.yaml file:
handlers:
- url: /js
static_dir: js
In this case, /js represents a subdirectory of your main project directory, and you can put all of your static JavaScript files in there. They will be uploaded to the production server, and you can include them in your HTML with:
<script src="/js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
