Calling functions from a .JS file

662905Nov 2 2008 — edited Nov 2 2008
Good morning,



I stored my Javascript functions in a .JS file and saved the file in the /i/javascript folder on my APEX server.



In the HTML Header field I put the following code: <strong>&lt;script src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#javascript/P9001.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</strong>.

In the HTML Body Attribute field I put the following code: <strong>javascript: onLoad='P9001PageLoad()';</strong>



When the page loads I get the error "<em>Object Expected</em>" on Line 21, Char 1. (When I view the source, line 21 is the line with the code from the HTML Body Attribute Field.)

Also, in the source HTML of the page, line 17 has <strong>&lt;script src="/i/javascript/P9001.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</strong> which I assume is how the APEX engine renders the code I typed into the HTML Header field, so I think that I typed it correctly.



I am including the JS function that I am trying to call, but I do not believe there is a problem with the code. If I put the code into the Header Text Field then the function is called, and runs as expected. I beleive my issue has something to do with the JS files.



function P9001PageLoad() {

// Called on pageload to populate the Select Lists with the values in the

// hidden fields. The Hidden fields are populated by P9001_PROC_PAGELOAD.

var i = 1;

var counter = 0;

for (i=1;i&lt;=8;i++) {

var slst_simp = document.getElementById("P9001_SLST_SIMPQS_Q" + i);

var hidn_simp = document.getElementById("P9001_HIDN_SIMPQS_Q" + i);



if (hidn_simp.value != parseInt(hidn_simp.value)) {

slst_simp.value = null

counter++

}

else {

slst_simp.value = hidn_simp.value

}

}



if (counter &lt;8) {

var i = 1;

var counter = 0;

for (i=1;i&lt;=8;i++) {

var slst_simp = document.getElementById("P9001_SLST_SIMPQS_Q" + i);

var hidn_simp = document.getElementById("P9001_HIDN_SIMPQS_Q" + i);



if (hidn_simp.value != parseInt(hidn_simp.value)) {

slst_simp.style.backgroundColor = "#dd0000"

}

}

}

}



Any advice you can offer in helping me utilizing .JS files would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
