Calling a JavaScript function from a .js file in Google App Engine

Question

I was trying to call a function from a .js file in the Google App Engine enviroment.

the code of the html print goes like this:

from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app

class jumpPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/html'
        self.response.out.write('');
        self.response.out.write('');
        self.response.out.write('<head>');
        self.response.out.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/pxc11.js" >');
        self.response.out.write('</script>');
        self.response.out.write('</head>');
        self.response.out.write('<body">');
        self.response.out.write('<form name="f1">');
        self.response.out.write('  <input type="hidden" name="theStartValue" value="1"><p>');
        self.response.out.write('  <input type="button" value="-15" onClick="dummy()">');
        self.response.out.write('  <input type="button" value="+15" onClick="dummy()" ><p>');
        self.response.out.write('</form>');
        self.response.out.write('</body>');
        self.response.out.write('');
        self.response.out.write('</html>');


application = webapp.WSGIApplication(
                                     [('/tonteria', jumpPage)],
                                     debug=True)


def main():
    run_wsgi_app(application)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

and then the .js is just this:

<script language="javascript" type="text⁄javascript">
function dummy()
{
    alert("POPOPOPOPOPO");
}
<⁄script>

The app.yaml includes a static folder that has the .js file.

    handlers:
    - url: /js
      static_dir: js
    - url: /tonteria
      script: tonteria.py

I'm sorry, what happened was that the HTML was showing and I could see and click the buttons but the Javascript functions weren't triggered. I was putting these HTML tags in the .js code... — c4sh

You'll save yourself a lot of editing headache by using templates. — Dave W. Smith

.js files contain Javascript, not HTML tags.

Your life might be easier by making the file into an html template and then rendering it with your variables. Google has a great tutorial
