[opencms-dev] How to add a javascript file to the template

[Joe Desbonnet]

You have a few alternatives:

The first is simply to embed the code in the HTML page. Eg:
<script language="Javascript">
my code...
</script>

This is the easiest, but can be wasteful on bandwidth if the code is long.


Next option (which I think it the best): Create a directory in your template 
module directory and put the script there. Eg 
/system/modules/com.myCompany.opencms.templates.mytemplate/javascript/myScript.js

Link it as follows:
<script src="<%=cms.link("/system/modules/com.myCompany.opencms.templates.mytemplate/javacript/myScript.js")%>"
/>

BTW: the 'cms' object is obtained like this:
<%
CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request, 
response);
%>
