Javascript Path Defining - javascript

I have two servers where I want to use one script file. One location has URL http://localhost:8080/one/simple/ and the other location is http://localhost:8181. Now I have one html file hosted on both the servers where in order to use that script file I have included it like
<script src="/script.js"></script>
Now this code works fine on http://localhost:8181, but not on http://localhost:8080/one/simple/, console throws an error that the file is not available.
What's the correct way to write the path so that it can work on both the servers?

Can you try following:
<script src='<?Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")?>/script.js'></script>
as suggested in answers to this question.
It is supposed to give you virtual path.

How to include a .js file into an html file that is served by a compojure server?

One of my html file needs to include a script file, as it often happens, and no matter what I do, the browser doesn't seem to get it.
following this answer: How to include css files into compojure project?
I created a public folder in my resource folder. The structure looks like this:
resources
|-public
|-views
| |-myview.html
|-scripts
|-my.script.js
Inclusion of the file in myview.html looks like this:
<head>
<script src="/scripts/my.script.js"></script>
</head>
When I request myview.html from the server I get it, but all of the types in my.script.js are unknown. The html works as expected when I just load it in the browser (I have to adjust the path to the script file to be relative, of course, and no, that doesn't work either when I request it from my server).
So how do I get my script files (and later css files) to be found by the html in a typical compojure setup?
Turns out I was just missing
(route/resources "/")
in my routing. As that wasn't the problem with the topic I looked at, I didn't figure it out for a while.
Turns out sometimes you should read the code in the question just as carefully as the answer...

cannot find js file

I have stucture code like this:
I try to load javascript into php file like this:
But i have an error like this:
This is my html :
And this is another javascript:
And i try to copy paste the link, and i got an error 404 not found. How can i fix it? Thanks.
Permissions
When the host is correct, and the file is in the right place, and you have no other networking problems, you may sometimes still get a 404 because of bad file permissions. If a server does not have permission to access a file, it may send out a 404 error in response. The reason why some "Not Authorized" error is not given instead, is that this would reveal more information about the files than you, the owner of the server, may intend. The way to respond to requests for privileged files without revealing whether or not they exist is to give a 404.
On Windows, you can view and change the permissions from the File Explorer by right-clicking on the file or folder, then going to Properties -> Security -> Edit. For more information, see the notes on permissions on Microsoft's site.
File Types
Besides permissions, a server must also be configured to serve the type of file you are accessing. If files with different extensions are served, but .js files are not, check the configuration of your server to make sure that .js files aren't blacklisted (or not whitelisted, as the case may be).
Directory Location
You should also verify that the files are actually stored in the top-most directory of the web server if that's how you are accessing them. If they aren't, you may need to prefix the path with the path from the webserver root to your application directory. E.g., instead of fusioncharts/..., you may need /path/to/fusioncharts/... or ../../path/to/fusioncharts.
Other Considerations
In your particular case, you should also verify that the files inside the fusioncharts folder are actually structured the way you think. (E.g., is there really a js/[insert name here].js file inside the fusioncharts folder?
If none of that solves your problem, try to take something that is working and gradually make it more and more similar to the files that aren't working. By figuring out at which point you go from a working setup to a not working setup, you may discover the problem.
If you are referring to a file with path: /ui/new-file.js
then,
1.In html file include
<script type="text/javascript" src="/ui/new-file.js"></script>
2.In server.js or app.js whichever you have, include
app.get('/ui/new-file.js', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'ui', 'login-file.js'));
});
Assuming you are using codeigniter, you can use base_url() function to include JS files in your codeignitor view template file.
<script src="<?php echo base_url(); ?>fusioncharts/js/fusioncharts.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
codeigniter default view template is called welcome_message.php and this file is located in application/view folder.
This is how I include js files in my codeigniter projects. Hope this will help.
In the html you can write *script** in the head or in the body, but not in your file js, delete this in fusionCharts.js
<script type=text/javascript>
In fusionCharts.js write only the function without the script
If you are developing locally, try clearing your cache.
Google Chrome likes to use the cached JavaScript files instead of the real ones.
Clearing your cache should resolve the issue.

How to run the .html file in browser?

I have just wrote a javascript file which I ran the via intelliJ using a few different browsers e.g. Google Chrome. This works fine as it runs locally e.g. http://localhost://.
However I want to be able to send it to someone so they just click on the .html file (packaged in correct folder) and it appears on their browser. Is there anyway I can do this? Right now the url points locally e.g. file:///Users/**/project/file.html.
Use a relative path. If your HTML file is in the same folder as the JS file, this means simply including it like so:
<script src="jsfile.js"></script>
If it's in a subdirectory, include all the folders necessary to get there:
<script src="subdirectory1/subdirectory2/jsfile.js"></script>
If it's up a directory, use the .. path:
<script src="../anotherfolder/jsfile.js"></script>
Or just include it in the HTML page itself:
<script>
// your code here
</script>

Perl CGI doesn't include Javascript file

It is a rather wierd problem. Consider the following small perl code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw{ :standard };
use CGI::Carp qw{ fatalsToBrowser };
my $q = CGI->new;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<head>\n";
print "<script src='/home/bloodcount/Desktop/pm.js' type='text/javascript'></script>\n";
print "</head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print "<h1>Click any number to see its factors</h1>\n";
print "</body></html>";
It prints a very small html page and includes a jasvascript file. The problem is that the javascript file isn't included. The "physical" copy is in the correct place. I thought that something may be wrong with the code I am generating so I copied the raw html which comes out if you run this file in the console which is:
Content-type: text/html
<head>
<script src='/home/bloodcount/Desktop/pm.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Click any number to see its factors</h1>
</body></html>
I ran it in chrome and it worked perfectly. The javascript file has exactly one line if code which is:
console.log("It works!");
Any ideas what may be causing this?
Note: I know that the second code listing doesn't have !DOCTYPE.
Since you are able to execute the CGI within your browser you must have a local web server running. Your <script src='...'> path is likely unreachable from the browser due to a lack of access rights or the proper alias configured within your web server.
It works from the static file because the browser is then going though filesystem directly, so the JS file path name resolves.
You have to put the .js file somewhere that the web server knows about, and then formulate your src path correctly.
Check your web server logs and documentation to see how to set up the proper access rights and/or aliases. Note you probably do not want to expose ~/Desktop to the internet.
As an example, if you are using Apache, see USERDIR, ACCESS CONTROL, ALIAS.
After some tinkering I found the solution:
Apache searches for scripts and files only in the folder for this website meaning that each website has one specific folder where you must put the scripts. The base folder path is: /var/www/ and from there on you must find your website.
This means that when before the set path was: /home/bloodcount/Desktop/pm.js
it actually searched for the path /var/www/home/bloodcount/Desktop/pm.js which didn't exist. It wasn't searching in the real desktop, nor was there a permission problem.

javascript file not loading

Trying to import my js file from my page.
My page is in webcontent/mydomain/templates/page.xhtml
My js is in webcontent/mydomain/test/scripts
In page.xhtml
<script type="text/javascript" src="../test/scripts/test.js"></script>
But still the script is not getting picked.
Can anyone tell how I need to give the path in src.
Try this:
<script src="/test/scripts/test.js"></script>
Provided that webcontent is the root of public web content and thus /mydomain is also a public folder and thus your JavaScript is standalone available by http://localhost:8080/context/mydomain/test/scripts/test.js, assuming a domain of http://localhost:8080 and a context path of /context, then the following should do:
<script src="#{request.contextPath}/mydomain/test/scripts/test.js"></script>
This will generate a domain-relative URL with a dynamically inlined context path, which is much more robust than fiddling with ../ which would make the URI relative to the current request URI (as you see in browser's address bar) and not to the physical location of the template file as many starters incorrectly assume.
