Hi everyone:

I'm developing a Custom Module and I need to insert some JavaScript code. The main problem I have is that, due to my company's inner "Programming Rules" I can't put the JavaScript code directly in the ascx, and it has to go in a .js file.

Here's where the problem comes. If I insert the code directly there's no problem at all, but if I use the typical "< script src="Path/File.js"..." it doesn't work and I can't reach the functions in the Js.

The first error I get shows when I try to call a Load function. I register the call to the function using a Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript, and it crashes because it doesn't reach the function and shows the "Invalid object" error".

I'm quite sure I'm missing something, and it has to be with DotNetNuke ways of working, because the same code with the same path and JavaScript file works OK.

Could someone give me a hand on this?

Hi smcclure11:

Thanks for the reply. Just tested it and worked, although I had to alter the path a little bit. It's the ~ that messes things up a bit. I used the path:
"/DotNetNukeFolder/DesktopModules/ModulePath/JSFolder/File.js"
and it worked perfect.

Thanks again for the help.

May Luck be with you

Uhm... now that you mention it, while I was RTM and STW I got to a post where they suggested something like that, but not as a Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(...), just as a simple Me.ResolveUrl, maybe that's why it didn't work. I'll test it right now, gimme a minute....

ding!

Worked smooth, thanks again smcclure11. The full instruction ended like this:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude("jsInclude",DotNetNuke.Common.ResolveUrl("~/DesktopModules/ModuleFolder/jsFolder/File.js"))
