Re: Javascript not running Joomla2.5

[Nicholas Brick]

I have a problem getting some simple Javascript to work in a custom component I am building

I have a simple onclick="runthisfunction()" attribute added to a form checkbox

I precede this with
     $document = &JFactory::getDocument();
     $document->addScript("components/com_myone/mycode.js");    
and that seems to load my js file correctly into the head section

The action of runthisfunction() is simply an alert("hello World") and I've tested it in a simple html file, works everytime

However, when in the midst of my Joomla component, When I run this and click on the checkbox nothing happens
Everything looks ok when I view source or inspect with Firebug

The mycode.js has been loaded in the head section
The checkbox in the form has the onclick="runthisfunction()" in place

but nothing happens, no errors, no crash, no alert
I've checked and double checked for spelling of case issues, all is fine

This is my 1st attempt to include JS within my component, so most likely my own mistake but I cannot see it
any help gratefully received, is there something I'm overlooking ?

Thx

Could you set up a test site and share the link? That'd make it far easier to figure out what's going on.

Thanks Rouven, got to the bottom of it
I had included <script> tags in my .js file, took them out problem went away
It showed up when I tried using the Firebug console
Much appreciate the offer of help. Thx
