link to css or javscript files in workspace?

[gordong]

Hi,
is it possible link to uploaded css and javascript files, residing
in a workspace?

Rather than copying and pasting css and javascript into the
workspace setting / CSS & JavaScript / Custom HTML field, I am
wondering if it is possible to upload these elements to the workspace
as separate files, and link to them in the Custom HTML field, to load
them at runtime. This ability would ease the development process.

For example, after uploading myCSS.css to a workspace, put:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://
myworkspace.pbworks.com/myCSS.css"></script>

into the custom HTML field.


The problem I encounter trying this strategy is that there seems to
be no way to get a direct link to a file in the pbworks workspace...

Thanks for your input,
Gordon

If your workspace package includes the ability to set custom CSS and
JavaScript, you can access the documentation for the API at:

Thank you, Elieen!

well, I'm not sure I understand what you mean: I have a classroom
license, and I do have the ability to paste css and javascript into
the Settings / CSS & Javascript Custom HTML field. Is that the
capability you are referring to? (I thought all licenses have this
capability, even the free one...)

But this call looks like it sends text which represents CSS or
Javascript to the system. That's not the same as linking to a file
uploaded to the workspace.

Is there is no way to obtain a direct link to a file which resides in
the workspace? No matter how I try to construct a link to a file I
have uploaded, it always directs me to a file download page...

thanks for your further clarifications,
Gordon

That's not how you'd want to include CSS anyway. It'd be something like this:

<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="style.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>

You can always copy the download link from the download page, right?

sorry? yes, that should have been written with a javascript file in
the example. just a typo.

works perfectly. What can I say? Working on a phd has fried my
brain to the obvious!

Thanks!
