Javascript access to Tapestry Image Asset
Hi all,
I need to be able to access an image from javascript using the following
call:
jQuery(button).attr("style", "background-image : url(images/button.png);");
The problem is that this will not work for me in the future as I have a
requirement to change the URL based on locale.
So what I was hoping that perhaps I could use a Tapestry Asset with a fixed
path and access it from javacript.
Is this possible? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ray.

I don't think my solution is the best, I wasn't like...thinking out of the
box ! I went straight to solving the probelm while not thinking much about
the awesome framework we are discussing here.
I believe derkoe's solutions is much more better and scalable. Also derkoe's
link says that tapestry will support assets localization.
I say give derkoe's solution a try and in the end, you know best about what
you really need.

Hi,
Thanks for the great responses Muhammad and derkoe.
Setting the variable through JavascriptSupport was just the ticket.
Again, thanks for your assistance.

Yes, it is :)
Just inject the asset and use it in your script - see
http://tapestry.apache.org/assets.html
Code should look something like this:
@Inject
@Path("context:images/button.png")
private Asset button;
...
javaScriptSupport.addScript("jQuery(button).attr('style',
'background-image : url(%s);');", button.toClientURL());

Is it possible to find out that path, set it to a JS variable using
JavascriptSupport, and use that variable in ur js files ?
