we have a Javascript sheet saved as a static resource and one of our developers is attempting to invoke a function from it in our visualforce page.

In our visualforce page, we are using:

<apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.QA_Javascript}"/>

And we are trying to call a function for an onlabelclick on a pageBlockSection Item.

When we put the function in the top of the page within <script> tags it works fine, but we are trying to avoid that to keep the page cleaner. Any help is appreciated.

    QA_Jacascript is a single JS file or a JS file inside of a zip? – greenstork Oct 8 '14 at 17:51
  • At this point a single file, thats why we didn't use the URLFOR – George Albrecht Oct 8 '14 at 17:55

    have you tried to invoke the function by using onclick="QA_Javascript.function();" ( assuming the filename that is sitting in the static resource is QA_Javascript.) reference : stackoverflow.com/questions/6806246/… – Rao Oct 8 '14 at 18:15
  • @rao I tried that as well...no success. Below is my code, is my include script misplaced or anything? <apex:page standardController="QA__c"> <apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.QA_Javascript}"/> <apex:form > <apex:pageMessages /> <apex:pageBlock title="QA Scoring Form"> – George Albrecht Oct 8 '14 at 18:57

    @GeorgeAlbrechtwhere are you calling the method in your static resource? Are you seeing any errors in the javascript console of the browser? – Phil B Oct 8 '14 at 19:25

Including 

<apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.QA_Javascript}"/>

should work fine. Make sure that you have put the correct name though. In this case, QA_Javascript needs to be the name of the Static Resource not the name of the file itself.

Then, to reference a named function from your javascript in the onlabelclick call on a pageBlockSectionItem simply write:

<apex:pageBlockSectionItem onLabelClick="YourFunctionName()">
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>

No need to write the file name before your function call.

Found the answer, in QA_Javascript Static resource, I saved the file as a .js, but still included tags. Since removed and fixed, thanks for all of the help everyone.
