Hi all,

I wanted to make my first foray into getting some custom javascript working in mojoportal - specifically scrollable - http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/scrollable/index.html

As I wanted the easiest possible way as a starting point I added 

<!-- include the Tools -->
<script src="http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.2.5/full/jquery.tools.min.js"></script>
  
<!-- standalone page styling (can be removed) -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://static.flowplayer.org/tools/css/standalone.css"/>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://static.flowplayer.org/tools/css/scrollable-horizontal.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://static.flowplayer.org/tools/css/scrollable-buttons.css" />

to the head section of the layout.master and then the css from the flowplayer page and the html and javascript into a html module on a test page - it all looks OK but the functionality doesn't work - am I doing something wrong?

The test page I was using is here http://dev2.jrcwebsolutions.co.uk/test-page.aspx and the version of mojoportal is 2.3.5.5 SqlCe (haven't updated this dev site yet) and its running on windows 2003 if that makes any difference?

Once I can get past this intro hurdle what is the better way (but still not too complex yet) of including additional js functionality in mojo sites - can I just add a .js file into the skin and link to it from the layout.master as a preferred method?

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Aaron, thanks for the input, I've tried that but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.  Also tried commenting out the <script src="http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.2.5/full/jquery.tools.min.js"></script> part just to see and that didn't seem to change anything either....... have also removed the init script from the html module at the moment....

Thanks Aaron that gave me a big clue and something else to try 

I copied the whole lot of javascript and css links into the master page just before the </body> and it works fine on the test page now just need to neaten it up a bit and then start making it do what I actually want it to instead of just getting it to work so I think I'm kinda over the first hurdle.......

Having said that I'd still like to know a better way of doing it as I'm sure this wouldn't be the recommended way??

Thanks for your help in getting it up and running

Andrew

Hi Joe,

Thanks for confirming - started out as a "quick and easy" test to make sure it worked as I thought really, was going to update the site and flatten it to start building a new site as the next step 

Cheers

Andrew
