i want to use scripts in my program.how can i write a script ? where it should be write in application.js and how.?
app,ication.js is a good place for some general purpose scripts, that are used by all (or most) of your views don't forget to use: <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> in the header section of your layout
but you can use your own js files as well, place them in public/ javascripts and (assuming myscripts.js is the filename: <%= javascript_include_tag 'myscripts' %>
and how can i call it from my view..can anybody help me with some simple examples.
say you have defined a js function like function doSomething() { alert('hello world'); }
in a file & included it as described above, then it will be available as any js from your page. There are many ways to call this function for
one of the most simple: <%= link_to_function("hello", "doSomething()") %>
will create a link and call this function. But you can use it as event handler in onclick, call it directly from any other function and so on.
