Hi everyone,

I have gone through much of the online (wiki / forum) and offline (PDF) documentation and i cannot find mention of javascript anywhere.

One place i would have expected something was in the module development documentation but nothing.

Maybe i am missing something (would not be the first time), but i would like to know how I would add a JS file to a module (i.e. one that i am developing), and how i would call it to be included in my head section of the page.

Any tips or pointers to which document has it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you search for it?

One way is:
include 'header.php';
$xoops_module_header .= '.XOOPS_URL.'/some/path/yourscript.js" type="text/javascript">';

Thanks very much although that did not work.
I am guessing that something should be writing out the $xoops_module_header var, but i do not see what, since it is after the inclusion of the header.
I am not seeing the JS tag output to the HTML or the functionality of the JS file showing up in my page.

Also I did search for it!
I am not trying to be critical, only point out that it could be more easy to find.

For instance, i searched on the forum here, and in the PDF;- ModuleBuilding.pdf
Also in the Coding standards documentation, the developer wiki .... really i did search.., perhaps having so many places that need to be searched is why i could not find it.

Is there a single piece of documentation? If not how would i find out whether the info i need is in "Theme anatomy" or "Module Building"????????

In the module building pdf there is seriously no mention of javascript atall, yet that is what i would expect to be doing if i was writing javascript, don't you agree?

Add <{$xoops_module_header}> to your theme.html in the head section.

Most module articles concentrate on php. Check out some working modules and search for .js .
