Javascript vs. Javascriptlet

[kitze]

Executing the simplest "flash('hello world');" in a javascriptlet is ok, but if i put it in a .js file and do the "javascript" task instead of a javascriptlet it doesn't work.

I'm using this as an example, actually i have a bigger javascript, and everything is working, the log is showing that the javascript is executing ok but i'm not getting the flash.

What could be the problem?

It wasn't clear to me whether you used exactly the same script in both instances (with no other code present) ?

Also try enabling Menu / Prefs / Misc / Popup Errors/Warnings to catch things like have the wrong filename.

I used exactly the same script, the filename is correct, i tried adding an alert and it works, just the tasker commands don't work and i have no idea why, the scriptlet with the same code works fine ...

Out of curiosity I decided to test it. It works correctly both as a javascriptlet and as a javascript file. Tasker 4.2u3.

Oh, i tested it again without any libraries and it's okay, but when i add the jQuery library as a link it doesn't work...

[Bob Hansen]

That I can confirm. It does not work when the jQuery library is specified.

[Pent]

OK, will try that. Thanks for the verification Bob.

Apparently there's a difference between this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/chrome-frame/1.0.2/CFInstall.min.js"></script>

And this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/chrome-frame/1.0.2/CFInstall.min.js" />

I don't know what it is, but the Tasker function definitions which follow after are available if I do it the first way and not the second way, so I've changed it for next version.
