Re: Why cant I access a folder at root level which contains Java Script
Awsome thanks guys. I'm going to try some of your suggestions tonight - as a quick work around I have just 'included' the javascript files. Cheers. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Why-cant-I-access-a-folder-at-root-level-which-contains-Java-Script-tp28129493p28171291.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

The JSP is in the following directory: apache-tomcat-5.5.28/webapps/SimpleBlog The Java script is in this directory: apache-tomcat-5.5.28/webapps/SimpleBlog/js The JSP contains the following code to include the JS file: script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript src=js/scripts/wysiwyg.js/script script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript src=js/scripts/wysiwyg-settings.js/script and it doesnt work, ... because if that's really how you have things set up, the paths to the scripts should not have the /scripts/ level, but instead they should be: script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript src=js/wysiwyg.js/script script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript src=js/wysiwyg-settings.js/script Ive also tried adding a backslash before the js in the src=. However if I copy the JSP into the js folder (and remove the js from the src=) then it works! Why can the JSP see the js folder? As others have said, it's the browser which either sees or doesn't see something. If you're using Firefox, you could use one of the many extensions to find out what the browser actually requests, and what is the request from the server. My preferred FF extension for this would be TamperData. If you have access log enabled on your server, the requested resource path along with the HTTP response code set by the server will also be visible there. Remember that the browsers always request with absolute paths; relative paths are an HTML feature, but requests are done with HTTP, which only recognizes absolute paths. Thus, the browser will create the absolute paths based on location of the referring resource and the relative reference. As always with relative references, you have to pay close attention to the context. -- ..Juha - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

You can hard-code your context path or use JSTL e.g. c:url ... or the corresponding JSP declaration to add your context path in front of the context-relative script directory path. Or you can specify a *correct* relative path. For example, if your .jsp is in jsp/ and your .js is in a parallel js/ folder you can use a relative path: src=../js/the-js.js - Bob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
