javascript calling controler without form

PHP does not render the js, it's the server.

Now, about including your external files there are several ways of doing this.

One is having your js files under a directory under the web root. In this case your directory structure would be:

Code:

web_root
|
+- js
|   +- (All your javascript files)
+- index.php
+- system
     +- application
     |

In this case you would be able to use the following in your view:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/YOUR_JS_FILE.js" />

Another possibility is to have your external files under your application's directory:

Code:

+- index.php
+- js
|   +- (All your javascript files)
+- system
     +- application
     |

In this case you would need to load the uri helper in your controller and you can use the following in your view:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo base_url() ?>js/YOUR_JS_FILE.js" />

You can do the same with css files.

I hope this works.
