[dev] How do I use the JS-file caching mechanism of Horde?

[Sebastian Birnbach]

Followup:


I meanwhile figured out the official method for adding JS files:
Horde_PageOutput::addScriptFile().

Still, I can't seem to make it work.


Everything works when the Horde_View file contains

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

But if I replace that with

<?php
$GLOBALS['page_output']->addScriptFile('form_sections.js', 'horde');
?>

I see that the generated HTML code loads a cached version of the js file:

<script type="text/javascript"
src="/js/form_sections.js?v=596ca0a81b7fe741719c6df2f8b52a22"></script>

only that functionality is negative.


In this case, JS console complains about undefined variable
sections_dossier_form
which is in fact defined near the bottom of the Horde_View file:

<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
var sections_dossier_form = new Horde_Form_Sections('dossier_form',
'overview');
document.observe("dom:loaded",function(){$("horde_form").focusFirstElement();});
//]]></script>

Any clues, anybody?
