Question

What is the correct syntax for including an external js and external CSS file in CakePHP so that these files are included in the <head> from within a view?

By external I mean something like "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" but I want to place it conditionally in a single view.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The answer from xiaohouzi79 is correct for Cake 1.2, but the JavaScript helper has been deprecated in Cake 1.3 (documentation).

CSS (documentation):

$html->css(array('http://example.com/type.css', 'http://example.com/color.css'), null, array('inline' => false));

JavaScript (documentation):

$html->script(array('http://example.com/script.js'), array('inline' => false));

OTHER TIPS

For css use the following:

$html->css('http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/standard.css', false, array('inline' => false));

For a javascript file use the following:

$javascript->link('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false', false);

btw. don't forget to include the javascript helper in the model.
