RE: CF Server parsing .js files...
Whoooaa :) overkill.. but similar to what I would have responded.. Don't change your .js files to .cfm files or mess with your server extensions or cfinclude them. That's not how the browser uses the .js files. If you want to include CF variables in your .js files, do this. In a separate WriteJSOutput.cfm file, process the CF variables, and then use CFFILE to write to your .js file. This answer rocks!!! :) Why not leave the file as a .cfm file but put CFCONTENT TYPE="application/x-javascript" at the top? Keith C.

Set them as normal javascript variables, which are globally scoped to the page. eg. cfset CFMjscriptVarforExample = 'I will be passed to a .js file which can manipulate me' cfoutput script var jscriptVarforExample = #CFMjscriptVarforExample# /script script src="/javascript/jsFileWhichExpects_jscriptVarforExample.js" /script /cfoutput Jared Clinton.

Re: CF Server parsing .js files...
Remember if the js file is included lik this: Script language="Javascript" src="/src/dynapi.js"/script you have to wrap the include in a: script language="JavaScript" cfinclude template="/dd/src/dynapi.js" /script In the preceding instance the src directory is on the root of the site and the site has a coldfusion mapping of dd. Hope that helps. Frederic Dave Hannum wrote: The only way I can think of would be to wrap it in a CFINCLUDE inside a .cfm page.

RE: CF Server parsing .js files...
That's the way we do it... works like a champ. When your stylesheets get big, you really should link to them, rather than include them, so that browsers can cache them and speed up all your pages. Works for us in Netscape, too, vs. Steve's experience in the next post. It's not a stylesheet. It's a javascript source file that I'm trying to include with CF variables Sorry, Steve. I meant javscript source file. Got confused because we use the same technique for .js and .css. This works fine in IE and NS... script language="javascript" src="myfile.js"/script This works in IE but not in NS... script language="javascript" src="myfile.cfm"/script I'm thinking I need to find another approach to what I'm trying to do. Netscape seems to need the .js extension to reference as a valid source file. Not true. Check out http://www.fuselets.com/cftips/ with Netscape, then take a look at the script tag's source on that page... it's a .cfm file. Works on all flavors of NS, even Mac. You just need to use the cfcontent tag to set the headers correctly.

Re: CF Server parsing .js files...
I believe that if you cfinclude the .js file, CF automatically parses it, even though it isn't a .cfm file. In other words, cfinclude template="myjsfile.js" will process 'myjsfile.js' as if it were a .cfm file.

Re: CF Server parsing .js files...
Why not leave the file as a .cfm file but put CFCONTENT TYPE="application/x-javascript" at the top? I tried renaming the .js file to a .cfm file and it worked like a champ until I opened the page in Netscape... it doesn't seem to want to accept it as a javascript source file. Worked perfect in IE (as usual). Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
