Using External Javascript in CForms

["Stewart, Gary" <Ga...@luht.scot.nhs.uk>]

Hi there,

I've been trying to use an external Javascript in an on-value-changed in a form field def.

I have something like:

<fd:on-value-changed>
  <fd:javascript>
     event.source.value = formatDate(event.source.value);
  </fd:javascript>
</fd:on-value-changed>

and I include the function in one of the stylesheets. I get a org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: "formatDate" is not defined; which is quite right as it hasn't been defined at that stage. I looked through the samples but I couldn't see anywhere were an external Javascript was included for this purpose. Can this be done or should all scripting be performed inline?

Thanks,

Gary

Gary,

You can add a reference to the JS file containing your formatDate  
function in the sitemap...

<map:flow language="javascript">
	<map:script src="flow/date_utils.js"/>
</map:flow>

... or you could include it in one of your existing flowscript files  
like this ...

cocoon.load("flow/date_utils.js");

The advantage I see to declaring it in the sitemap is that your JS  
file will be automatically updated when it changes, whereas if you  
include it in another JS file you have to touch the parent file  
before updates to the included file take effect.
