my post may have been a waste of space --- i figured it out, in any case, for anyone who is curious here is the answer to my question:
all static files that the client's browser needs to read such as a jquery.form.js file need to be inside of /static so the header of the html page should appear as: <script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery/jquery.js" ></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery/jquery.form.js" ></script> and for that to work these lines need to be in the app.yaml - url: /jquery static_dir: static/jquery - url: /static static_dir: static expiration: 1d On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 2:19 PM, B <boris....@gmail.com> wrote: > So I know that if I want to use jquery I write this in the header of > my html page: > > <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/ > jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> > > But what do I do if I also want to use jquery's form plugin: > http://jquery.malsup.com/form/ > > I am guessing that I cant just use something like <script src="http:// > ajax....>? > > The problem now is it seems like I dont understand how to have a > static jquery.form.js file recognized by the browser from by an app > engine served page, although it appears simple? > > I downloaded the "jquery.form.js" file and placed a copy of it both > the directories /jquery and /static and did not have success calling > it from the .html page with either: > > <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/jquery.form.js" ></script> > <script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery/jquery.form.js" ></script> > > in my app.yaml I have these lines: > > - url: /jquery > static_dir: jquery > > - url: /static > static_dir: static > expiration: 1d > > Any suggestions on where I might be going wrong with using this static > file OR a better way to get access to the jquery-form-plugin? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
