Hi,
I'm trying to call my javascript files in one workarea which will be use in all the branhces that I have. All my javascript files will be in one workarea in such a way I can recyle my javascript. What will be the correct path?
I've tried this one. It's not working.
<script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="/iwmnt/default/main/GlobalSources/AboutPrint/WORKAREA/temp_workarea/maxcharacter.js">
thanks!

I usually put the JavaScript in IWHOME/httpd/iw/custom, then reference it as just /iw/custom/functions.js or whatever.
If you absolutely need it to be in the workarea I think the path starts with /iw-mount.

From the FormAPI documentation:
The value of the location attribute controls how the src attribute is interpreted:
'webserver'
The src attribute is simply the URL of the target, for example
http://myserver/mypath/hello.js
. This is the default if the location attribute isn't specified.
'template-type'
In this case, src specifies a location relative to the template type directory. So if 'hello.js' lived alongside the DCT in:
'/iwmnt/default/main/WORKAREA/user/templatedata/category/type/hello.js'
then simply specifying 'src="hello.js"' would be sufficient.
Note that you can use the webserver location type to access content that is on the same TeamSite server but in a different location than the template type directory by using the '/iw-mount' URL prefix:
<script src="/iw-mount/default/main/SomeBranch/EDITION/SomeEdition/SomeDirectory/hello.js"/>
Hope that helps.

Hi
Using the script tag with location="webserver" I am able to access the JavaScript from iw-home/httpd/iw/... with src="/iw/..."
I would prefer to put my JavaScript under iw-bin instead of iw. However I can't seem to access the JavaScript if it is in src="/iw-bin/..." . Has anyone else managed to do this? Is there something special about the iw directory?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers

"iw-bin" is considered a cgi directory by the apache instance. As such, it tries to execute any references from there, as opposed to just retrieving them. So, what's happening when you reference /iw-bin/mycode.js is that apache tries to execute it, and nothing is written to STDOUT, so nothing is returned to the brower.
Does that make sense?

That does make sense -- thanks for explaining!

I would avoid putting anything other than CGIs in iw-bin - is the reason you want it there just because you want to keep all the customizations in one place?
