Datacapture.cfg and Form API

Hi,
I am trying to call a javascript file from a datacapture using the cgi-callout element.
Here is my datacaputre.cfg file content.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE datacapture SYSTEM "datacapture6.0.dtd">
<data-capture-requirements type="content" name="wireframe">
<ruleset name="TeamSite Templating">
<item name="myButton">
<hidden>
<cgi-callout label="My Button"/>
</hidden>
</item>
<script src="test.js"/>
</ruleset>

</data-capture-requirements>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the test.js file content.
function init () {
alert(“Hi Anna”);
//Then you register you EventHandlers in this function
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/myButton", "onCallout", sayHello);
}

function sayHello () {
alert(“inside sayHello function”);
}
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The js file is saved in the same folder as the datacapture.cfg file.

However, when I clik on the button, the alert box does not come up.
Any ideas why???

Thanks in advance.
Anna

Are you getting the first alert? alert(“Hi Anna”);

In your script tag add location attribute. <script location="template-type" src="test.js"/> . If you don't specify the location type, it assumes it to be "webserver" so looks for it under iw-home\httpd folder.

By the way, there's a forum for Templating so posting your templating related questions there might help you get help quicker.
