[SOLVED] Autoloading js scripts that use base_url() - El Forum - 12-29-2009

Hi,
I often find myself writing functions inside controllers to load some jquery code just in certain pages.

For example:

Code:
function _load_create_post_js() {
        return '
        [removed]
        $("#tags").autocomplete(\''.base_url().'admin/tag/search_autocomplete\', {
        multiple: true,
        autoFill: true,
        multipleSeparator: " "
        });
        [removed]
        ';
    }

I thought to put all the scripts in a certain directory and then load them in an array, but some of these scripts use base_url().

Is there a nice solution for this?

Create a global js variable for base_url() at the top of the page.

So in a header view you might have:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
BASE_URL = "<?=base_url()?>";
</script>

And then in all subsequent scripts on the page you can just use BASE_URL as your basepath:
Code:
$("#tags").autocomplete(BASE_URL+"admin/tag/search_autocomplete", {

Thanks, this works great.

This is a good way to define custom vars for JS.
If only we could do the same for CSS Smile
