Rails spinoffs - May 2007 - Scriptaculous problem loading required libraries in first page loaded because of jsessionid in URL

In the first HTTP exchange, some web/application servers send the
session ID as part of the URLs included in the page in order to
determine whether the browser supports cookies or not.

In the case of Tomcat, it includes the session ID in the following
format http://myserver/myUrl;jsessionid=sessID

The first page requested, which includes a script tag for
scriptaculous looks like this:

  <script src="/scriptaculous.js;jsessionid=aSessionID"
type="text/
javascript"></script>

Because of this, the call to Scriptaculous.load() is not working and
nothing gets loaded. It''s basically not finding the script tag at all.

I tried to open a ticket on Rails Trac for this, but I didn''t have
permission to do it.

I know that I can modify the code to strip out this if it is present,
but was wondering whether it makes sense to also include this in the
code base.

Any help would be appreciated.

Daniel

I suggest that you load in the files you need individually,  
scriptaculous.js is just a convenience script file that basically  
inserts <script> tags that load in the various .js files.

just include effects.js, dragdrop.js, controls.js and what ever else  
you need as you would include scriptaculous.js (note that effects.js  
is a prerequisite for the other .js files).

You also might want to not use session ids for the .js files, as  
they''re static assets, like images (this will help performance, as  
you can have more efficent caching).

Best,
Thomas
