weird folder issue

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 19.2010

Any javascript programmers ever see this one…

I have a folder where I keep all my .js files. I have the…

script type=”text/javascript” src=”javascript/jquery.js”
/script

…all set up. [carats removed] All the right folders are made (for each test I would rename the folder and the link). It will not work if I name that folder “javascript”.

“javascr” works
“abc” works
“javascripk” works
“javascript” will not work.

When I view source and click the src=”[location]”, I get a file not found, but ONLY when the folders name is “javascript”.

So WEIRD.

Ubuntu (Karmic), Firefox, Apache 2.x, (PHP 5 and playing with jQuery if that matters, all running / testing lolcally)

@mrhooMay 19.2010 — 'javascript' in an url is a [I]protocol[/I], like 'http'- it is used to run javascript expressions from the address bar or a hyperlink's href action.

Some servers restrict paths to unreserved strings, some don't- but to avoid any problem,

use another name for the folder.
