calling custom javascript functions

[jonas]

hi

I have developed javascript functions in /static/js/custom/charts.js

they are loaded in layout.html:

 <script src="{{=URL('static','js/custom/charts.js')}}"></script>

I call them in index.html by:

<script>

myfunction();

</script>

I know that ajax and jQuery can be used to call python functions in default.py and my question is, is it possible to use ajax or jQuery to call my custom javascript functions? which one should I use?
My goal is to call d3js functions to generate graphs.

thanks

I suggest jQuery.ajax

It's not quite clear what you want to do. You wouldn't use ajax to call a JavaScript function. If you want to call a JS function in the browser, just make sure it is loaded on the page and call it.

I just wanted to see if it's possible to call custom made js functions using jQuery. I found that it is possible to call by using this function:

  $(document).ready(function() {

  $(function_call());
}

css tags can also be added.

but it is simpler to just use myfunction();

In the web2py book all examples covers jQery effects but I couldn't find any information about calling custom made js functions.

Did you try:

$(document).ready(function() {
  myfunction();
});
