External JS with CI / PHP

[quote author="mjstenbe" date="1268848621"]Thanks for the input Simon. This doesnt solve the problem though.

The problem being <?php echo base_url();?> - statement in the external JS file. And thus the function not working properly. Placed in the PHP file this works fine. See an example below.

Code:

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "<?php echo base_url();?>index/test/delete",
        data: data,
        success: function(msg) {
   // // //
   });

Is it really the case, that in order to use JS with PHP, it has to be contained within the same file?

Thanks,

You did mention that you put it inside the CI dir at first, that should not work by default. But yes define constant in the head, e voila.
