Call a javascript file in a menu

[leonard]

Hello all,

How can I call and execute a javascript file in a menu
with url, clickfunction or etc?

Here is one of my bad attempts:
aI("text=Email Us;clickfunction=javascript:document.write(\"<script language='JavaScript' src='/bins/js-bin/email.js' type='text/javascript'></script>\")\;;status=Send Email to Meteor Crater;separatorsize=4");

Thanks

Leonard

Hi Leonard,

I'll admit I'm totally novice on js. However, I think what you are looking for is
javascript= ;

another useful property is:
text= ;type=html;
that allows you to use html in the text field.

onfunction= and offfunction= might help. See http://milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2981 for some good (and necessary) reading.

Thanks for the help, but I could not get a link to the "javascript=" to execute (probably don't know what I'm doing):
aI("text=Email Us;javascript=/bins/js-bin/email.js;status=Send Email");
The script would encrypt email address from spammers.

I just wanted a simple mangled "mailto:" and this seams to work:
aI("text=Send Email;url=mailto:%73%6F%6D%65%62%6F%64%79%40%73%6F%6D%65%70%6C%61%63%65%2E%63%6F%6D;status=Send Email");

Thanks

I've used this in one of my menus which seems to work:

Code: Select all

aI("text=Popup;url=javascript:alert(sometext);");
sometext="This is a popup Javascript box.";

Perhaps this would give you a start?

I think you are calling an inline javascript command. I am trying to call a javascript file like:

/bins/js-bin/email.js

aI("text=Email Us;javascript=/bins/js-bin/email.js;status=Send Email;"); ???

Can anyone give an example of calling a javascript file {filename.js} as a menu item?

Thanks,

Leonard

[leonard]

aI("text=Email Us;javascript=/bins/js-bin/email.js;status=Send Email;");
The above does not work?

Can anyone give an example of calling a javascript file {filename.js} as a menu item?

Thanks,

Hi Leonard,

I'm not sure what you mean by "call a javascript file." There really isn't any way to do that, menu or otherwise. Typically, you load a .js file into the page, then call its various functions from different links in the page or from various events in the browser.

Maybe if you describe the kind of functionality you're going for, we can take it from there...

Cheers,

Kevin
