Need Help mixing Javascript and Coldfusion

LyndonOHRC · Nov 1, 2006

I'm using a javascript menu that I like a lot but I have to load the menus values manually.

I would like to move the portion that loads the array of values from the js file it is in to a cfm template and eventually load those values from a database.

The code below is how I'm attempting to do it but gets an error not finding the js functions in the next module (menu_com.js). I thought the cfinclude and script src= tags would just place the code in the template but it doesn't seem to work that way.

This code works fine:

Code:

<script type='text/javascript'>
    //HV Menu v5.411- by Ger Versluis ([URL unfurl="true"]http://www.burmees.nl/)[/URL]
    //Submitted to Dynamic Drive ([URL unfurl="true"]http://www.dynamicdrive.com)[/URL]
    //Visit [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.dynamicdrive.com[/URL] for this script and more
    function Go(){return}
</script>

<!--- --->
<script type='text/javascript' src='/binkleyhome/exmplmenu_var.js'>

</script>


<!--- <cfinclude template="/binkleyhome/exmplmenu_var.cfm"> --->
<script type='text/javascript' src='/binkleyhome/menu_com.js'>
    
</script>

I placed the contents of exmplmenu_var.js in the cfm and wrapped it in a script tag. Then I moved the comment tags from the cfinclude to the script tag.

Contents of exmplmenu_var.cfm:

Code:

<script type='text/javascript' language="JavaScript">

I'm not sure how the cfinclude works, as I don't use coldfusion. However, what I read from google says that the cfinclude takes a cold fusion page as a parameter. Perhaps the page you're importing needs more than just the script tags?

I personally would take a different approach to this. Since all you are wanting to pull into the page is javascript, why not stick it all in a js file and pull it in with a script tag like so:

Code:

<script type='text/javascript' src='myImportedJS.js'>

If you take this route remember that .js files do not require <script> tags, so be sure to take them out first.

If this solution will not work for you for whatever reason, maybe try using server side includes instead (provided your server supports them). Something like this would work:

Code:

<!--#include File="exmplmenu_var.cfm"-->

Using server side includes is the exact same as copying/pasting the code from the include straight into the main page.

How would I fill this array with values
from a data source in your solution?

CFInclude works like a preprocessor include
directive in C. The tag is replaced by the
template contents before any code is evaluated.

Sorry, I don't know a lick of coldfusion, but were you populating the arrays from a data source in the example you posted above? It looks like all the values are static. If that is what you're trying to accomplish then importing the code via a <script> tag will not work, although server side includes would.

I'd suggest taking this to the cold fusion forum because it doesn't seem like you're looking for a javascript solution, but rather a cold fusion solution for a javascript problem.

Man.... you gotta speak the javascript language in the javascript forum, I haven't taken a C class for about 8 years [smile]

Sorry for the probable crosspost.

I'm struggling with which fourm might help.

kaht, I hadn't tried to populate the array yet.

I was trying to get the concept to work
with hard coded values in the array.

It sounds like server side includes should work either way you're trying to do it, static values or pulled from a database. I use them in ASP all the time, and they are not ASP specific.

You don't need a cfinclude to include javascript, but this code works for me.

Code:

<cfinclude template="layoutInfo.cfm">

Make sure you have the right path, you can check your path by using

Code:

<cfoutput>#GetCurrentTemplatePath()#</cfoutput>

[qoute]I would like to move the portion that loads the array of values from the js file it is in to a cfm template and eventually load those values from a database.[/qoute]

to do this you can cfquery or call a stored proc get the recordset and loop through the recordset creating a string that will be your javascript and return it from a function to the main page or just directly output it.
Direct output example below cause its easiest.

Code:

<script type='text/javascript'>
var myArray = new Array()
<cfloop from="1" to="#myQuery.recordCount#" index="i">
  <cfoutput>myArray[#i#] = #myQuery.arrayValue[i]#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</script>
