base url in and script src doesnt work

[eluser]london77[/eluser]
Hello,

I found a nice date picker script and added that to my page. Everything works if the link is external to my site as below.

Code:

src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.8.18/jquery-ui.min.js">

However, I need to do a little change in this script , so I have created a java folder under my site folder('test').

www
test
..
application
css
java
...
But, somewhow when i link to here, script doesnt work.

here is how i coded it.

Code:

src="<?php echo base_url(); ?>java/jquery-ui.min.js">

and here is my config file

Code:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/test';

and url helper is added as well.

Please explain me where have i done wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Try this,

Code:

<src="&lt;?php echo base_url(application/java); ?&gt;" >

but thanks for the reply.

Try this,

Code:

<src="&lt;?php echo base_url(application/java/jquery-ui.min.js); ?&gt;" >

or this,

Code:

<src="&lt;?php echo base_url(/application/java/jquery-ui.min.js); ?&gt;" >

If this does not work try putting /java/ in the root of CodeIgniter Directory,
and called it like this way,

Code:

<src="&lt;?php echo base_url(java/jquery-ui.min.js); ?&gt;" >

or this,

Code:

<src="&lt;?php echo base_url(/java/jquery-ui.min.js); ?&gt;" >

just play with it if it doesn't work until you make it work.

Well what is the actual output, and what should it be? Start there.

[eluser]london77[/eluser]
Normally when I use external src link it works. When it is clicked on the input field the date picker appears and i can choose a date from there.

When i use the internal link in a way mentioned above, nothing appears on click. I only see the form, nothing comes with the click.

any help?

Code:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/test';

should be:

Code:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/test/';

then use in your src attribute:

Code:

<?php echo base_url(); ?>java/jquery-ui.min.js

nope, that didnt work too.
