Uhhh....  Better question, why would that work?

 

 

/js/ != /templates/admin/js/

[seventheyejosh]

if i put the file in

/templates/admin/js/toggle.js

 

and put in the

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/admin/js/toggle.js"></script>

 

it works beautifully, but if i put it in

 

/js/toggle.js

 

with

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/toggle.js"></script>

 

it doesnt work.

 

the folders both have the same perms and everything

If you try to go to the file directly after doing that, what error is there?

[seventheyejosh]

it starts saying my functions are undefined, etc, as if the file isnt accessible or something.

 

basically i'm dynamically reading the directory of js/ in public_html, and putting all .js files into the header.

 

it works just fine reading from the js folder in the admin template, but not in the js folder

 

public_html/templates/admin/toggle.js =

 

public_html/js/toggle.js =

 

even though both will show up in the page source just fine

corbin was asking what errors do you get if you go to the file directly. I believe he means if you go to the JS file directly, i.e. "www.yourdomain.com/js/toggle.js"? Is the file found by the browser?It should attempt to download it.

 

Could be a caching issue where it has "remembered" the location of the fine and can't find it any more. Try pressing Ctrl-F5 while on the html page.

 

however, I did not ice in your last post you put this:

public_html/templates/admin/toggle.js =

That's not the same as "/templates/admin/js/toggle.js". Typo?

 

Also, what is the path to the HTML file that is loading the JS file? And, i will admit I have had similar bouts of frustration and found the problem was just a bonehead issue on my part such as I was editing my local copy of the HTML page and had moved the JS file on my live server.

Yea it was a typo

 

I actually managed to find the error early this morning.

 

In my htaccess, i forgot to add the rule for the folders to make them accessible.

 

I had:

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/modules/"

 

so /modules/admin/js/toggle.js was accessible

 

but forgot to add

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/js/" [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/includes/"

 

so neither /includes/js/toggle.js

 

or /js/toggle.js

 

were accessible.

 

so i was able to see my scripts up there, but couldnt access them.

 

i actually figured it out when my flv files werent accessible from /includes/video/, but were accessible in /modules/main/video/

 

thanks for all your help though and sorry to post in the javascript forum, i honestly thought thats what the error was.
