I have the following coffeescript code to generate and alert box:
show_alert = () ->
alert("Hello! I am an alert box!")
which compiles to:
(function() {
var show_alert;
show_alert = function() {
return alert("Hello! I am an alert box!");
};
}).call(this);
in my html I have the following
<input onclick='show_alert()' type='button' value='Show alert box' />
However, no alert box shows? The following is the html copied from the browser:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Rails Application</title>
<style type='text/css'>.application h1 {
color: lime; }
</style>
<script type='text/javascript'>(function() {
var show_alert;
show_alert = function() {
return alert("Hello! I am an alert box!");
};
}).call(this);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello from applicaiton.html.haml</h1>
<div class='application'><h1>Hello World</h1>
<input onclick='show_alert()' type='button' value='Show alert box' />
</div>
</body>
</html>
Why am I not able to get an alert box to show up?
