WampServer

In my webroot (i.e. C:\wamp\www) I have the folders alpha and bravo. A JavaScript file named aScript.js is in alpha and an HTML file called user.html is in bravo. I reference the external JavaScript by

<script type="text/javascript" src="../alpha/aScript.js">

but whenever I call a function in it the browser console says the function is not defined. If I copy and past the exact same files onto the desktop it works fine. Does WAMP have some permissions I must change? I haven't set up any of my own .htaccess files

You need to close the tag

<script type="text/javascript" src="../alpha/aScript.js"></script>

Not sure this is a good practice though as these 2 folders should function like seperate sites and have all their resources under the same folder.

It was closed I just didn't include it in the post.

Well it works when you have it coded correctly and you have apache configured properly. So something else must be wrong.

if you want I can TeamViewer in to your system and have a look.

If you want to do this install team Viewer ( its free for casual use ) and send me a Private message with the ID and Password.
I am on GMT and an available now for an hour or so, or tomorrow.

Did you get my private message? I thought I sent it but my sent folder is empty.

Are you sure this is not just your cross site scripting filter denying the load of a script from another site.

That is basically what you are doing, loading a script from another site.

Try placing the script in the bravo folder and loading it from there, see if it runs then.

Yes it does run if they are both in bravo. The thing that surprised me is it seems to work ok if the directories are on the desktop but as soon as they are in the WAMP directory it doesn't work.

By on the desktop do you mean you put a folder on the desktop and run the html files by doulble clicking on xyz.html using explorer??


If that the case it works because you are not actually going through a web server soing it that way.

Yes. Also I tried putting them in the WAMP web root folder.

For example in my browser if I go to localhost/bravo/xyz.html no javascript works but if I go to c:\wamp\www\bravo\xyz.html javascript works fine

can you send me teamviewer details, this is just a mistake your making, it has nothign to do with wamp
