Java Script question

Modified By Tony Thompson on 4/10/2006 8:25:08 PM)

I have an html page that refrences java script from a .js file. I know the Iframe will allow me to run that page in my portal, but there's a few problems with doing that. So I was wondering if its possible to place everything between the <html> and </html> into the text/html module, modify the <script> src= location and run it in the module? So far I haven't been succesful in getting it to run, not sure if my src location is incorrect, or if the module just won't run java script.

I just found the js folder inside DotNetNuke and placed my .js files there, but the java script still isn't working correctly. The js is a slideout menu which slides out a div when you mouseover a link. The biggest problem i notice is the cell needs to say <td class="actuator"> though the module seems to strip the quotes off for some reason, and the anchor tag needs to be <a href="#" onmousover: "ypslideoutmenu.showmenu('menu1');" onmouseout:"ypslider.hidmenu('menu1')"> but the module keeps making it say <a onmousover: "ypslideoutmenu.showmenu('menu1');" onmouseout:"ypslider.hidmenu('menu1')" href="#">

See the response to:

Re: Running Javascript in text/html module Old Post
Posted: 13 Jan 06 8:07 AM

By Jon Henning. in this text/html forum

With that information I was able to take an html page that had inline Java script and make it work in the Text/HTML module.

Since one cannot in DNN have a <form name=...> tag in the Text/HTML module html, elements (i.e. fields and buttons) in the form cannot be referenced with a path that requires a form name.

In Jon's example html that contained

with JS references like

FWform.AL1.value

needed to be changed to

document.getElementById('AL1').value

or to:

document.forms[0].AL1.value

What I did was make a copy of my HTML that worked outside of DNN and changed all the JS references from ones that referred directly to the formname to ones (according to Jon's instructions) to ones that did not.

After making sure that this changed HTML copy worked, I then cut the necessary pieces from it (making sure I did not bring over the <form name=...> tag) and pasted them into my DNN text/HTML module. And voila, it worked.

Hope this helps

Samsen.
