[mapserver-users] RE: javascript in html templates

[KenHeer1]

I hope you might be able to help me out a little further, I am still a little
new to this.

I'm using Openlayers to perform my getfeatureinfo request. The Mapserver
Template file that is returned *is* my ajax response, right?

That response is a full html page with the javascript in it. If I understand
this right, nothing in a <script> tag will execute on this page, is that
also correct?

I am vagely familiar with jQuery and ExtJs but everything I've looked at
seems to require involvement when the initial request is sent, not just
handling the html response that's returned. Even when I incorporate a simple
jQuery alert into the response page, it's still in the script tag and
doesn't get fired. It seems like my problem starts because I'm feeding the
completed mapserver template html file straight to the openlayers function
and then using openlayers.loadURL and the openlayers popups.

Instead of using a popup, if I posted the response to a div on the original
page I believe I'd be able to use some of the examples that I found online
to handle the new, ajax delivered content. But since it's a popup that's
essentially a separate html page, that won't work, right?
