I am so new to web development and I am encountering this problem. I tried googling this but the problems that I saw is not related to mine.
I have a jsp file that contains only this code:
<script>
displaymessage();
</script>
and in my js file: I have this.
$('ajax_content').innerHTML = resp.responseText;
where in the resp.responseText is equivalent to a string that represents the jsp file.
The function inside the jsp file is existing in the compiled HTML page but the function is not called.
The function's purpose is just to display a message.
Could anybody help me?
Inserting a script via innerHTML does NOT run that script.
Instead, you should remove those script tags and just run the AJAX response through eval.

I have a file index.php and there is a main js script in its header.
I'm using Jquery load method to load other php file inside a div element:
$("#formHideinAjax").load('loginpass.php');
And as our friend explained here the main js file which had loaded in the header doesn't work in new imported file so I was forced to add the js file inside the loginpass.php too(Now I have two same js file, one in header and one in div that loads loginpass.php ! )
I know that this method of loading js file is not standard and sends more request to my server.
How can I fix this problem?
Well, it is explicitly said in $.load() documentation. I'm afraid you can't just paste <script></script> code into your DOM for browser to run it.
I'm afraid you have to send JavaScript code from your loginpass.php file (without <script></script> tags) and just eval it in your JavaScript
$("#formHideinAjax").load('loginpass.php', function () {
// eval JavaScript code from php file here
});
I'm trying to execute a JavaScript function. I get an error everytime the function enters the Ajax block saying:
$ is not defined
How can I solve this problem? I'm Programming a Google Chrome Addon and I get this error in my .js file:
At the moment ther is just the function above and its caller in the file:
// Calls get_pw function
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
document.getElementById('submit').addEventListener('click', get_pw)
})
Many Thanks
Download jQuery from https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js. Include it in head tag of your document and call get_pw() when document has loaded.
Include jQuery before executing the function or rewrite AJAX request without jQuery.
Including can be done simply by copying jQuery code at the beginning of your script or by loading a file from their CDN and then executing your script on a callback(slower).
I used to write JS inline in my footer but since it's getting too much I want to write it in an external file and include the file in the footer then.
I'm currently using
<?php include "https://example.com/myjs.php"; ?>
in the footer.
In that Php file which is mainly js with a few php expressions, I'm defining all the functions first and afterwards I'm calling some of them functions "onload" with
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
// functions....
});
I've put everything inside
<script></script>
The thing is that I get an error showing the functions I'm calling arent defined. However, when I just paste the code in the footer template inside
<script> </script>
tags it works fine.
I'm assuming that the error is with the tags and inlcude...
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT:
I am using WP functions which are based on logged in user id and page id. Do these might cause the errors?
I'm using wordpress with jQuery.
Since it's a remote URL, all php scripts will be executed before inclusion into your file. So how about
echo file_get_contents("https://example.com/myjs.php");
I could solve the problem:
I defined the php vars in JS before the script within the footer.php. Credits to: Access PHP var from external javascript file
Then I just replaced the php vars wih the js vars and included it with html as script.
Works like a charm now,
thanks anyway for all the help!
I am trying to include external javascript to a document. Let's say that external js has the following code.
function myFunction() {
console.log("hello");
}
and I include it from console by
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = "http://myjs";
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
but then I still get myFunction() is undefined error. The function is being called from php file included on the page somehow. Interestingly, appending my external javascript right after the head tag in the document was not enough for it to precede the function call from the loaded php file.
Q: how do I ensure that I include my javascript BEFORE the php file given my situation?
EDIT: this is the hierarchy of all the sources
mysubsite.com
myfolder
mypage.html
mysite.com
myfolder
main.php
problem.php
problem.php is calling function myFunction() but it's not included anywhere yet. So I try to define the function in an outside js file and include it in mypage.html, but problem.php still comes before the included javascript in mypage.html
EDIT:
I think the real problem is that I am dealing with an iframe that's included inside a main document. In this case, is there a way to include my external javascript file inside the main document from console? Including scripts from console only affects the iframe instead of the main document.
What you're doing is fine, but then you have to wait for the file to load. Most browsers will raise the load event on the script element although some older versions of IE use onreadystatechanged instead. But since you're using jQuery (from the tags on the question), you don't have to worry about that, you can just use $.getScript:
$.getScript("http://myjs", function() {
// The script has been loaded, you can call myFunction now
});
PHP is always included before JavaScript. PHP is executed by the server before it's sent to the client, and JavaScript is executed by the client.
Why can't you just put a regular <script type="text/javascript" src="http:/myjs"></script> in your head?
I'm JavaScript newbie. What I'd like to be able to do is to call a function from .js file sitting in ASP.NET MVC project's scripts folder.
The function is:
function myfunction() {
alert("HELLO");
}
...and it resides in file brfix.js
On a viewpage I call it like this:
<script src="../../Scripts/brfix.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
myfuntion();
});
</script>
But the code doesn't work. However, if I place js-code directly onto the viewpage, it works, like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
alert("HELLO");
});
</script>
How to call a file-based js function? Could some JavaScript-Big-Kahuna help me out? =)
If that code is pasted directly from your source code, you have a typo so that'd be why it doesn't work!
your function is called myfunction(), but you're calling myfuntion()
you should enable js errors in your browser when developing. You don't say which browser you're using. For IE it's in Tools - Options - Advanced. Uncheck the "disable script debugging" options. In firefox I'd use something like FireBug as Dror says, if memory serves there are things that appear in the event of a javascript error. If you are still having problems I would try installing Fiddler2 (in IE) and building a request for the js file and see what comes back.
Another option would be to put a debugger; call just before you call your function, you should then be able to step through the javascript.
It may be that the reference to the external file is wrong:
<script src="../../Scripts/brfix.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Make sure the reference is correct.
You can try by using view source to see the actual location ../../Scripts/brfix.js gets translated to in the final page.
You can also try with FireBug of FireFox.
If your mvc site is the root site in iis you can start the script src with a slash to get to the scripts. otherwise you can use an asp:ScriptManager to include the scripts
As other posters have mentioned, there is a typo. However...
Check out the Url.Content() method for referencing your site content. (images, scripts, etc...) Using ../.. isn't reliable, especially if you have varying levels of depth in your URLs or your application lives in a subdirectory.
Here's a helper I use in most of my projects, for example:
public static string Script(this HtmlHelper Html, string url)
{
UrlHelper Url = new UrlHelper(new RequestContext(Html.ViewContext.HttpContext, Html.ViewContext.RouteData));
string html = "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"{0}\"></script>";
return string.Format(html, Url.Content(url));
}
And here it is being called:
<%= Html.Script("~/public/js/blah.js") %>
I had the same problem and it turned out that I had a few js files that weren't being found. If your MVC project structure is the default VS setup and your View page is in Home for example, then I think below will find the file:
<script src="../Scripts/brfix.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
But even if that one is found other js files not being found caused my $(document).ready not to work. Check your page in Firefox's Firebug, if a file isn't found you will see html markup with a message saying a resource could not be found, located underneath the offending reference. Once I resolved all the js references then my $(document).ready worked.
Strangely VS was telling me it couldn't find the js files when the references were correct, and wasn't flagging the problem when the references were incorrect.
