Issue with path for js file

[avianmanagement]

I'm just starting to do some work with Java script for the 1st time, using Jointjs.

To test things I created a fiolder inside of my apps folder called dist.

In this I had the files for jointjs and this worked fine.

As I want to share these files with other apps I created a folder under Library called jointjs and put a copy of the file in there

from a js file in my app folder if I use:

<script src="./dist/joint.js"></script>

it works fine

If I use:

<script src="../library/jointjs/joint.js"></script>

it does not

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong with this?

What type of file did you put the script tags in and where is it located? You can right click on a webview and activate the web inspector to help debug your code.

[avianmanagement]

They are in a rsp file

it is a javascript file joint.js

It is located at C:\Lianja\library\jointjs\joint.js

[lianjasupport]

Where is the .rsp file located?

[avianmanagement]

in the apps own directory c:\Lianja\apps\erd4lianja\erd4lianja_main.rsp

[lianjasupport]

in the apps own directory c:\Lianja\apps\erd4lianja\erd4lianja_main.rsp

ok then look in the web inspector, javascript error console. Because its in a subfolder that will be the base url so you need to use ../../library

[avianmanagement]

Thank you it works now when I use

<script src="../../library/jointjs/joint.js"></script>

I know nothing about this stuff and just used the path that was in another post on subfolders in library

http://www.lianja.com/community/show...-under-Library

I had assumed that ../ meant step back two levels from when I am now.

[lianjasupport]

The thing to remember is that the absolute directory of the file executing becomes the default directory so you need to use relative urls inside the file.

[avianmanagement]

So if I am in a file c:\Lianja\apps\erd4Lianja\erd4lianja_main.rsp

../ would take me to c:\Lianja\apps ?

[lianjasupport]

Yes. Up one level from the folder containing the file.
