Custom javascript file not loading

[Paul_Ramcharitar]

I placed a custom javascript file in "userdata/custom/js". From what I understand, if you place javascript files in there, they are loaded automatically every time you run a program.

The javascript file loads perfectly in web browsers. However when I try to load my program in the "ProfoundUI Mobile Client", I get an error: Expression 'myFunction()' contains an error: myFunction is not defined".

I'm guessing my custom javascript file wasn't loaded, hence "myFunction" wasn't found.

I'm using an Android tablet to run the ProfoundUI Mobile Client application.

Files in the userdata/custom/js directory will be loaded automatically if you are using a PUI session in a web browser. They are not loaded automatically from the Profound UI Mobile Client, PhoneGap or Genie.

I would suggest using the 'External Javascript' property of your screen instead.

ok thanks

Hi, I used the external javascript and external css option, and none of them apply in the mobile client.

[Scott Klement]

You are using the screen-level properties, correct?

These should work in a mobile client.

[Paul_Ramcharitar]

When I used "external javascript" and "external css" screen level properties, the files didn't load. Even when I wrapped the paths with "pui.normalizeURL".

However these functions worked for me on the browser and mobile client:

Code: Select all

pui.loadJS({path: pui.normalizeURL("/profoundui/userdata/custom_js/GetCurrentTime.js"),callback: function() {startTime();}})

Code: Select all

pui.loadCSS(pui.normalizeURL("/profoundui/userdata/custom/css/custom.css"))

The files loaded as they should.

Well, these APIs should work, too...

are you calling this from your onload event? Or when are you calling them?

[Paul_Ramcharitar]

Yes in the onload event of the record format.
