Hey I've got the following problem:
I am building a little flask app, and usually i just stick with bootstrap and jinja templates to get what I want, but this time I needed a bit more customised version. In order to get a grip I started with a simple example of using custom js and flask to get the basic right. But lets go into detail:
Assume I have a simple flask web app called app.py located in my_app/ which looks like this
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(port=8080, debug=True)
and the corresponding index.html, which is located in my_app/templates, is simply
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Clicking here will make me dissapear</p>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"> </script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("p").click(function(event){
$(this).hide();
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
then I see the expected result, that is, i can click on the paragraph to make it disappear.
BUT: I would like to put the javascript part into a main.js file under static/js/. like so:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("p").click(function(event){
$(this).hide();
});
});
and the index.html becomes:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Clicking here will make me dissapear</p>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src='/js/main.js'></script>
</body>
</html>
Unfortunately nothing will happen. I have tried other ways of referencing the script file as well but until now nothing works. I have the impression im missing something really simple. Thanks in advance!
