[eluser]syntaxerror[/eluser]
hi,
i have a javascript menu bar
it has 1 folder (lib folder) and
five files (menu.php - this is the index, demo.css, demo.js, mootools.js, .project).
it is working on standalone.
my question is how and where can i save this files in code igniter to work.
i copy/paste it in the view and change the controller function index() to
$this->load->view('menu',$data).

but the effects didnt work, it should slide down, but what it did is just a link

my menu.php script is
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
&lt;html &gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;
    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="demo.css" type="text/css" /&gt;
    [removed][removed]
    [removed][removed]
    &lt;title&gt;MouseEnter Demo&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
    <div id="myElement">
    </div>
    
    <div id="myOtherElement">
        <span><strong>Menu</strong></span>
        <div>
            <a href="#">Client 1</a>
            <a href="#">Client 2</a>
            <a href="#">Client 3</a>
        </div>
    </div>
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

i think javascript is disable in codeigniter
because when i transfer the javascript outside the codeigniter (standalone script) it works.
but in the codeigniter the animation doesnt works.

thanks

Javascript and PHP are two completely independent entities. PHP is executed on the server side - javascript on the client side. One cannot 'disable' the other.

Create a folder in your application root - let's call it javascript.
Plop your javascript source files in there.
Make sure you can access it.
Link to it.
Done.

Code:
&lt;head&gt;&lt;title>Test&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head>
&lt;script src="http://example.com/javascript/javascriptfile.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"&lt;&gt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;

Let me know if you need a more thorough example.

I can't believe how many people have problems understanding this. This must've come up a 1000 times allready.

Here's a reply that actually has value:

When using Php, relative file names in html (those without a full url), such as css and javascript are relative to the location of your index.php file. Suppose your index.php in is /myfolder/. Then if you want 'js/myjs.js' in your html, myjs.js needs to be in /myfolder/js/.

Took about 30 seconds to respond. Didn't feel a thing. :coolhmm:

I'm fairly sure that relative URLs are relative to the URI of the request, not the location of the index.php file.

You're right. I wasn't considering a path in the URI. Brain fart yanno. :-)

still no success.
i tried all your suggestions and its just keep doing the same thing.
my javascript is not working in CI.

i will attach the javascipt file,
you can test it outside the CI,
and test it inside CI.

and please tell me whats your result.

thanks

Please do as inparo promote...

and invoke your script using url helper

Code:
src="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;js/mootools.js"
