jQuery doesn't work in an external js file - javascript

I'm a beginner of jQuery. I wanne write my jQuery in an external js file instead of in the head of html file, but it failed.
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<script src="js/func.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="response">response is shown here</p>
<button id="bt_testJQ">jq test</button>
</body>
</html>
func.js
document.write("<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js'></script>")`
`$(document).ready(function () {
$("#bt_testJQ").click(function () {
$("#response").toggle();
})
})
`

This has nothing to do with putting the code in an external file, you'd have the same problem if it was inline.
document.write's output is placed after the <script></script> element and parsed by the HTML parser when the script has finished running. Effectively, you are:
setting up jQuery to load
Trying to use jQuery
actually loading jQuery
You can't use jQuery before you load it.
The simple solution to this is to use two script elements in the HTML and load jQuery first.
<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js'></script>
<script src="js/func.js"></script><!-- with the document.write line removed -->
just wanna to avoid importing the jquery in every html file.
This is best handled by either:
Using a template system.
Using a build system that combines the contents of all your scripts, including third party libraries, into a single file.

A better way of doing this is have the jquery library called at the head and have your external js script at the last part of the body of your html
html code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="response">response is shown here</p>
<button id="bt_testJQ">jq test</button>
<script src="js/func.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Where to add JavaScript code that needed jQuery file?

I've founded this article but I don't know where to add this code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".showDescriptionTextbox").val($(".Product").val());//to initialize
$(".showDescriptionDiv").text($(".Product").val());//to initialize
$(".Product").change(function(){
$(".showDescriptionTextbox").val($(".Product").val());
$(".showDescriptionDiv").text($(".Product").val());
});
});
I've file jquery-1.11.3.min.js, jquery-1.10.2.min.js.
Should I edit one of both file with above code? Please give me a hint.
I want to execute query SQL by clicking the select option that I know it's just possible using jquery/ajax/js, but I'm still newbie.
I've file jquery-1.11.3.min.js, jquery-1.10.2.min.js. Both are jquery library file with different version. Only one should be included.
In your case the code snippet which you have shared can be included in a separate js file. Like this
nameOfYourJSFile.js
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".showDescriptionTextbox").val($(".Product").val());//to initialize
$(".showDescriptionDiv").text($(".Product").val());//to initialize
$(".Product").change(function(){
$(".showDescriptionTextbox").val($(".Product").val());
$(".showDescriptionDiv").text($(".Product").val());
});
});
Include the file in your main html file. Add the scripts near the bottom of the page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello Plunker!</h1>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="nameOfYourJSScript.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
DEMO
If the file is included in the bottom , there is no need to use document.ready function
Add your code BELOW the <script src="jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
So, JQuery will be loaded and can be used

Move javascript files into inline html

I have an application that allows the use of inline javascript, but not javascript from source files. I'm trying to modify a webpage to open on this browser, and need to know how to put the javascript files from the webpage inline.
Use <script> tags in your HTML. They can go anywhere - I prefer inside the <head> tag:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// put anything here - any type of valid javascript works
// if you import jquery, you can use jquery here too!
</script>
</head>
You should place your imported code into the script tag in your HTML page (application in your case), look at the following example:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
//Import your JS script here, e.g.:
function doSomething(){
..
}
</script>
</head>
<body>...</body>
</html>

how to add(link) my customized javascript code to any html/php page

i would like to add javascript to an html page. I don't want to have those scripts inline on the home page however, I would like them to be in an external javascript file. How do I link to an external javascript file so those scripts are run on the page?
<html>
<head> <title>asc Computer Grass Roots pvt. ltd.</title>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script> my jquesry scrips here
</script>
</head>
<body> somecodes </body>
</html>
Instead of
<script>my jquesry scrips here</script>
put
<script src="myscript.js"></script>
Of course you will have to create a file named 'myscript.js' and type javascript code in it.
For example, let say that you have all your javascript code in a file called 'functions.js', to link that javascript file to your html page just do it the same way you linked you jquery file.
<html>
<head> <title>asc Computer Grass Roots pvt. ltd.</title>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="functions.js"></script> <!-- linking your file -->
<script>
/*my jquery scripts here */
</script>
</head>
<body> somecodes </body>
</html>
Keep in mind that if the code in your 'functions.js' file needs jQuery to work correctly you have to add 'jquery.js' before adding your custom file, just as it is in the example.
In the map of your website create a file called script.js
put your jquery script in there
replace:
<script>my jquery scrips here</script>
with:
<script src="script.js"></script>
just like you did with the jquery.js, next time search the web before asking questions on SO.
Example
if you google "link javascript file" the first link is your answer to the question (link above is the website).

jquery not running with rails in external js file

i am using rails and trying to call jquery code present in external js file whose path i have specified correctly in my html file.The jquery code is executing correctly when i include it directly in html file.
my test.js
$(function(){
alert("yes");
});
and index.html.erb :
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/javascripts/views/test.js"></script>
</head>
jquery executes when included inside html
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
alert("yes");
});
</script>
</head>
the test.js path is correct since other javascript functions are getting called from the same file but not jquery code
why you have head tag in index.html.erb file . It already included in layout/application.html.erb file . in this way you are including jquery file twice. If you include two versions of jquery in any html they always create issue.
In my suggestion you need to remove your head tag from index file completely . And what ever js file you want to include, include it in your application.js file. for current scenario you can do it like below.
//= require views/test
#user3946910
Try like this.
in your index.html
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/javascripts/views/test.js"></script>
</head>
and in your test.js file add this.
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("yes");
});
Like this just import all plugins in the html itself, and create fresh .js page to write just your own script.
I hope it will help.

Is this javascript, and where should I place it

I came accross this html multiple file upload tutorial: http://robertnyman.com/2010/12/16/utilizing-the-html5-file-api-to-choose-upload-preview-and-see-progress-for-multiple-files/
I'm new to web programming enough to not being able to understand how to make a code from the two sections of the 'complete code' in this tutorial, which basically are:
A. Some html code:
<h3>Choose file(s)</h3>
<p>
<input id="files-upload" type="file" multiple>
</p>
<p id="drop-area">
<span class="drop-instructions">or drag and drop files here</span>
<span class="drop-over">Drop files here!</span>
</p>
<ul id="file-list">
<li class="no-items">(no files uploaded yet)</li>
</ul>
B. And some javascript:
(function () {
var filesUpload = document.getElementById("files-upload"),
dropArea = document.getElementById("drop-area"),
fileList = document.getElementById("file-list");
function uploadFile (file) {
[etc]
I recognize the code, but I don't understand where a part of code beginning with (function () is supposed to go into my code.
So my question is: how should the javascript part be placed in my code.
[Edit]
Thanks for your complementary answers!
Either just before the </body> tag, between a <script type="text/javascript"></script> tag like this:
<body>
<!-- other stuff -->
<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
// this is your function's core
})();
</script>
</body>
Or within the <head></head> tag, also between a <script type="text/javascript"></script>, but you have (probably) to wait until the DOM correctly loaded. For example, using jQuery:
<head>
<!-- other stuff -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
(function () {
// this is your function's core
})();
});
</script>
</head>
Or even within an external JavaScript file, where you'll also have (probably) to wait until the DOM correctly loaded. For example, once again using jQuery:
file myScripts.js
$(function() {
(function () {
// this is your function's core
})();
});
file myDocument.html
<head>
<!-- other stuff -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/myScripts.js"></script>
</head>
Javascript is placed inside onClick, onMouseOver, etc. attributes, as well as inside <script type="text/javascript"> tags.
They can be anywhere inside the <head> or <body> tags (place it after the elements you are accessing, so that they load).
w3 Schools has a Javascript reference to get you started.
Create a file with .js extension so yourFile.js.
Put your java-script code in it...
At the end of HTML file place this inside:
<script src="yourFile.js"></script>
Make sure your js is in the same directory as is your html...
Just put the javascript inside <script></script> tags after your upload form.
The post you linked to has a complete working demo of the code it describes which can be found here:
http://robertnyman.com/html5/fileapi-upload/fileapi-upload.html
A good way to experiment with this kind of code snippet is to paste the required section into a tool like JSFiddle
Since the code includes getElementById but nothing like window.onload or any other deferring tactic, it MUST be placed AFTER the form you want it to affect. To be on the safe side, you can place it in a <script> tag immediately before </body>.
