Hi,

Can somebody please tell me, where do I need to place my javascript(parameter validation) files, so that my html pages can access ?

Thank you.

Shravan

If they're just javascript, they would be either included in the html pages themselves or loaded via reference in the html pages. As for location, it doesn't matter much as long as they are either in a location known to your web server or referenced explicitly within your launch pages. I'm not a javascript guru, but never really had a problem with this. Maybe you can give a little more description/example of what you are trying to do.

Darin,

They are just javascript files. But, I have a lot of validation in them. And most of the html files contain same javascript code.I don't want all of my html (parameter) files to contain same javascript (and a lots of it). So, I am trying to reference the javascript files which contain this script. I put my javascript file at the same place as where my html files are. The html files don't seem to recognise the javascript file.

I am not a lot experienced with WebFOCUS. So, I was wondering if there is a different way of doing it or there is some specific location for javascript files, so that my html pages can access them.

Save it under

drive\ibi\Webfocus71\ibi_html\javaassist

In your fex, add this SET JSURL=/ibi_html/yourfilename.js


Hope this helps,

Kamesh,

I am not using / referencing javascript from a fex. I am referencing it from an html file. That javascript file contains just the validation of parameter fields.

Shravan,

... anywhere your HTML file can access it - think URL.

Kamesh,

It is not good practice to put user-developed code in the IBI provided directory paths. When you upgrade, you will have to move everything.

The best practice is to put it in a directory under ibi/apps. Your relative reference would then be /approot.

Shravan, I would recommend the same thing especially if your html file is also under /approot.

Ginny,

Both HTML and Javascript files are in the same folder under ibi/apps.

And then in my HTML I am refering to Javascript file as...

  <SCRIPT id=clientEventHandlersJS type=text/javascript src = "Validations.js">

And yet, my HTML file is not able to access the Javascript file. Am I doing anything wrong ?

<script type="text/javascript" src="/approot/app-name/file-name.js"></script>

Thanks everybody. Thanks Francis.

Thanks Ginny, That makes sense.

I'm going to reopen this topic since I have the same issue but with a newer version , 8.0.07.

I inserted a JS file in HTML Composer and everything works fine from Dev Studio.
Everything is working from App folders.
Dev Studio/HTML Composer insists on copying a central, reusable version of this JS file into my working directory so that I now have multiple copies which I don't want.
When I look at the text, I see that the reference is for a local file and it is not found when I run from the BIP.
<script id=ITEM4 type=text/javascript rtFileName="date_valid_check.js">

Does anyone know of a way to insert this js file into the HTML Composer so that I can use 1 files for many HTML pages (different apps) and from the portal?

Thanks.
