Re: Using Javascript-link Inside An Element
My original implementation did exactly what you describe but I was hoping that it could be done otherwise. Guess not.

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
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.

Using Javascript-link Inside An Element
I'm pretty new to CakePHP so it is likely that my issue is rather simple to fix. I have a custom element which I created called nav_menu.cpt. I call this element from default.cpt using: ?php echo $this-element('nav_menu'); ? For my element to work properly, I need to import 3x .js files and 1x .css file; I have placed these files in /webroot/js/ and /webroot/ css/ respectively and am attempting to call them inside the element like so: ?php $javascript-link('mootools-for-dropdown', false); $javascript-link('UvumiDropdown-compressed', false); $javascript-link('nav_menu', false); $html-css('uvumi-dropdown'); ? However, when the page loads and I check page source, it doesn't include these files in the header. I've also tried calling this following line in default.cpt with no success: ?php e($scripts_for_layout); ? What am I doing wrong??

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 ?php e($scripts_for_layout); ? correctly? Does it have to go before/after a certain point in the header?

Re: Using Javascript link
Nevermind, I finally figured out the location of the images.

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 head 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
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 On Aug 9, 8:20 pm, brian bally.z...@gmail.com wrote: You have a head 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.

Using $javascript-link('somefile', false) in an element doesn't work
Erm, it seems like the $scripts_for_layout var is populated before the elements are rendered so it doesn't contain the scripts which you add it in an element. My scenario: /posts/view/123 and in view.ctp: $this-element('456') and in 456.ctp: $javascript-link('somefile', false) It doesn't work. It does if I link it in view.ctp as per normal though.
