Given a view with layout, how can I load static
files (CSS and JS, essentially) into the <head> from the view file?
layout.html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="{{=T.accepted_language or 'en'}}">
<head>
<title>{{=response.title or request.application}}</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<!-- include requires CSS
files
{{response.
files.append(URL(request.application,'static','base.css'))}}
{{response.
files.append(URL(request.application,'static','ez-plug-min.css'))}}
-->
{{include 'web2py_ajax.html'}}
</head>
<body>
{{include}}
</body>
</html>
myview.html
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{response.
files.append(URL(r=request,c='static',f='myview.css'))}}
<h1>Some header</h1>
<div>
some content
</div>
In the above example, the "myview.css" file is either ignored by web2py or stripped out by the browser.
So what is the best way to load page-specific
files like this CSS file? I'd rather not stuff all my static
files into my layout.
