Re: Using Javascript->link Inside An Element
I know, it sucks. I think I did manage to achieve a similar result in a very roundabout way in one of my older applications, but it's not really worth the hassle; Cake just isn't set up for it.

My original implementation did exactly what you describe but I was hoping that it could be done otherwise. Guess not.

Re: Using Javascript->link Inside An Element
You only use echo when you're linking them inline. So you would never
have something like:
echo $javascript->link($scriptname, false);
It would either be:
echo $javascript->link($scriptname);
or:
$javascript->link($scriptname, false);
Unfortunately, you can't use the $scripts_for_layout variable in the
layout or elements included from the layout because usually by that
point the variable has already been printed out.
Your best bet would be to just place inline link calls in the header
section of the layout.

Re: Using Javascript->link Inside An Element
vekija, thanks a ton for your help!! I added echo in front of all 4
of the lines in nav_menu.cpt. I was immediately able to see the style
sheets kick in; however, when I look at page source, it still doesn't
show those files in the page header and is not displaying correctly.
Am I using the correctly? Does it
have to go before/after a certain point in the header?
Thanks again,
Dima

Re: Using Javascript link
Sorry, I forgot to get back to you; I was in the middle of a crisis. cake/../img/picturename.gif That path doesn't look right. I think there's something deeper wrong. And what about that in your view? Is it so, or is that actually in your layout? And, what I meant about rollovers is that, when you do: element.src = "images/mesogamesHover.gif"; ... you're forcing the script to download the image as the user hovers over the link. So you're bound to see some lag. It's better to preload them in some way. By creating image objects and assigning a src to them, the script will download the images to the client. Then in your rollover function, you assign the src of the relevant Image object to your element. The swap will happen immediately.

Re: Using Javascript link
Nevermind, I finally figured out the location of the images. I set the 'address' of the alt pictures to: cake/../img/picturename.gif so it would have been: element.src = cake/../img/picturename.gif :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Using Javascript link
Thank you for your reply.
I don't fully understand your advice.
I understand that HtmlHelper will expect a relative path from webroot/
img, but if it is already in the 'img' folder, why would I need to
pass '/img/' + filename ? Will the javascript code look for the Hover
images in the img folder? Or will it look for it in the js folder?
You recommend that I create the image objects and then set element.src
= foo.src ? (Just wanting to clarify what you mean).
Thank you very much for your help.
I hope to hear back.
Thanks,
~Sarah

Re: Using Javascript link
You have a in your view? No the layout? Does the HTML source look right?
Anyway, your onHover function won't work because you're not passing
the full path to the image. Remember that HtmlHelper expectes a
relative path from webroot/img. However, you're only passing the
filename, instead of '/img/'+filename.
Also, if you're going to do your rollovers like this, you'd be better
off preloading them by creating Image objects and assigning the src to
them. eg.
var foo = new Image();
foo.src = '/img/foo.gif';
var foo_hover = new Image();
foo_hover.src = '/img/foo_hover.gif';
In reality, it'd be better t create an array of those. Pass the name
or key, plus the stat--on or off--to your function, where you swap
element.src with src of whichever Image is required.

Re: Using Javascript link
I assume you want only the relevant parts.
In my view I have:
Animal Tlatoque
link('evoicesindex'); ?>
css('evoices'); ?>
link($html->image('Library3Sized.gif', array
('alt'=>'Library', 'onmouseover'=>'onHover(this)',
'onmouseout'=>'onUnHover(this)')), array('controller'=>'evoices',
'action'=>'library'), array('escape'=>false)); ?>
Then I use it like so (I have an onUnHover written too )in my
evoicesindex.js which is located in webroot/js
function onHover(element){
if(element.alt == "Games")
element.src = "images/mesogamesHover.gif";
if(element.alt == "House")
element.src = "images/mesohouseHover.gif";
if(element.alt == "Library")
element.src = "Library3Sized.gif";
if(element.alt == "Adventure Game")
element.src = "images/forestHover.gif";
if(element.alt == "School House")
element.src = "images/mesoschoolHover1.gif";
}
