JSPs and Javascript

[AvaB]

Hi all,

Does the location of the <script></script> block whwre I define functions matter in a JSP page?

Hi,

No, it does not matter where you include JavaScript in a JSP page. But the best practice is to keep them in a .js file and include them in the template.jsp if you have any if not in the jsp page.

From the included file you can call the javascript function by passing the values.

any rule that applies to html, applies to jsp - jsp just generates html in the end ...

well, to split hairs yes it does matter where you put them - you must define your functions before you use them

e.g.

right
<script>function foo() { alert("foo"); }</script>
<script>foo();</script>

wrong
<script>foo();</script>
<script>function foo() { alert("foo"); }</script>
