I'm sure the answer to this is very straightforward:
I'm trying to use the WMD editor from derobins (Here) with my rails app (it's the one on SO that I'm using as I type). But for some reason the js files (showdown.js and wmd.js) aren't loading.
In the console I'm getting the errors:
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/public/javascripts/wmd") ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/public/javascripts/showdown")
... despite the fact that both files - wmd.js and showdown.js are in [myapp]/public/javascripts.
The readme says to include the files like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="showdown.js"></script>
... which I tried but this didn't work (for obvious reasons, I think).
So I included them like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/public/javascripts/wmd.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/public/javascripts/showdown.js"></script>
I've tried these with .. at the start (e.g. src="..public/"), without the /, and with and without the .js.
Any help gratefully received.
Simple solution: changed the includes to
<%= javascript_include_tag 'showdown' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'wmd' %>
But still no idea why it wasn't working before.
