Javascript inclusion

[Pankaj Jangid]

I am reading this resource http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Including+Javascript+and+CSS+resources. But I suppose some other info is also required to include a javascript file.

I had updated my atlassian-plugin.xml file with the following code

<web-resource key="my.js.resources">
<resource type="download" name="menu.js"
location="javascript/menu.js"/>
<context>page</context>
<dependency>confluence.web.resources:ajs</dependency>
</web-resource>

But it is not including my js code. "menu.js" contains the following code:

<script>
alert("Hello World");
</script>

I had tried putting alert() inside AJS.toInit(function(){ }) as well. That too did not work. What am I missing?

Your example looks reasonable. give it a name though...

<web-resource name="My JavaScript Web Resource" key="my.js.resources">
  <resource type="download" name="menu.js" location="javascript/menu.js"/>
  <context>page</context>
  <dependency>confluence.web.resources:ajs</dependency>
</web-resource>

Also, menu.js should be in a folder called javascript in the same folder as atlassian-plugin.xml. It should not include the script tags. This will break the javascript. To test the inclusion of the JavaScript, View Source in a browser & search for menu.js

David,

I have put the script in javascript directory and do not have script tags in it, just plan alert();

Andres,

I am not creating a seperate gadget. I want to execute my javascript (menu.js) in Page context.

<web-resource key="myresource" name="Myresource" >
	    <dependency>com.atlassian.auiplugin:ajs</dependency>
		<dependency>jira.webresources:jira-global</dependency>
	    <dependency>jira.webresources:autocomplete</dependency>
		<resource type="download" name="test.js" location="javascripts/test.js">
		  <property key="content-type" value="text/javascript"/>
		</resource> 
		<context>page</context>
	</web-resource>

test.js is just includes alert("haha"); and , #requireResource("com.jira.plugin:myresource") #includeResources()

is also added in my jira gadget. But it still doesnot work . does any body help me ? Thanks .

David,

My fault. I had script tag in the menu.js. Removed that and it solved the problem.

Thanks.

are you includding that resource on your gadget spec?

#requireResource("yourResource")

#includeResources()

something like that i guess...
