POJavascript file not executing after AJAX call
text
Body
copied!<p>When I make an AJAX call to replace a div, the response contains a script tag pointing to an external .js file. However, I can't get the returned JS to execute. I've tried to eval() the response but that didn't work. I also tried to call a function inside the external .js file from within the onComplete callback, but this also does not work. Not sure what else to do. I'm using mootools core 1.4.5</p> <p>Main page's JS</p> <pre><code>window.addEvent('domready', function(){ function ajaxfunc(i) { return function(e){ e.stop(); var requestData = new Request({ url: 'blah.php?cat=' + i, evalScripts: true, evalResponse: true, onComplete: function(response){ $('rt-main').set('html', response); } }); requestData.send(); }; } var total = $('cat_table').getChildren('div').length; for(var i=1; i<=total; i++) { $('catClick'+i).addEvent('click', ajaxfunc(i)); } }); </code></pre> <p>The returned HTML</p> <pre><code><script src="listings.js" type="text/javascript"></script> ...(other markup, etc) </code></pre> <p>And inside that listings.js file</p> <pre><code>window.addEvent('domready', function(){ function gotoItem(i) { return function(e){ e.stop(); var id= i; var requestData = new Request ({ url: 'blah.php?id='+id, onComplete: function(response){ $('rt-main').set('html', response); } }); requestData.send(); }; } $$('.itemBox').each(function(el){ el.getElement('a.itemClick').addEvent('click', gotoItem(el.id)); }); }); </code></pre> <p>The environment I'm working in is Joomla 3.1 in case that affects anything.</p>
