Nest views and javascript/jquery

[drfishflan]

We use nested views in our Machii code base. This works great but I am having issues with jquery.

In my master.cfm I have all sorts of jquery includes and some jquery code .

I then have a sub page which has it's own jquery.....

Both contain a $(document).ready(){}

This the code in the sub page is running twice!!

Also I am wondering how where other people put their Javascript when dealing with nested views? Can't put it in the master page if its specific to the sub page because if the sub page is included in another file it will be missing dependancies.

The sub page needs to work completely independantly of the parent master page.

BUT

by doing this I get the error mentioned above and there is the possibility of confilicts (matching variable names, functions etc)

How do other developers deal with this issues?

thanks!

One option you may want to consider is creating a variable which contains your jQuery-based JS. You can add to this variable as needed (it's just a string, after all) and insert that on your master view. So you'd have something like:

view1.cfm

<cfset jQueryToInclude &= "some long string of JS">

view2.cfm

<cfset jQueryToInclude &= "some long string of JS">

and then on your masterView.cfm

<cfif Len (jQueryToInclude)>

     <cfoutput>#jQueryToInclude#</cfoutput>

</cfif>

At the end of the day, you're probably best off putting all your JS into an external file, and loading that at the bottom of the page. This way, you have all your JS in one place and you can easily see if you're going to have variable naming conflicts.

Or you can use the view:script custom tags to do the same thing.
