Emmm.... I'm not sure you can do this in external js files.
URL(...) and "{{ ... }}" markup are python helpers defined in web2py, they
are only visible in python controller files and view files that will be
rendered by web2py framework. Static external js files are only plain js,
which wont be rendered by web2py. So the above "{{=URL(...)...}}" is only a
plain string to javascript.
However, ajax() is a javascript function defined by web2py.js, so it's
visible in js files. So just use the direct url instead of the markup. The
following code in static js files should do what you want:
ajax("control2/function1", ['name'],'target')
ps: I realized this is an old thread, but the comment may help future users
who google for similar problems.
