Hi all,
I am learning cakePHP,
everything seems alright except that
I am very confused of how to make use of the default.ctp and what should be put inside the Elements folder.
Here is the default.ctp file that
I have been using since my very first lesson on learning cakePHP: (I copied from this URL http://book.cakephp.org/view/96/Layouts)
<!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">
<head>
<title><?php echo $title_for_layout?></title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<!-- Include external files and scripts here (See HTML helper for more info.) -->
<?php echo $scripts_for_layout ?>
</head>
<body>
<!-- If you'd like some sort of menu to
show up on all of your views, include it here -->
<div id="header">
<div id="menu">...</div>
</div>
<!-- Here's where
I want my views to be displayed -->
<?php echo $content_for_layout ?>
<!-- Add a footer to each displayed page -->
<div id="footer">...</div>
</body>
</html>
But the problem is that the layout
will take effect to all web pages that
I have created.
Let's see the case that
I have recently encountered.
In one of the .ctp files,
I need to use JQuery function and
I need to ass some and tags in the .ctp file.
Here are the and tags
I used:
<Script language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
// some functions here
});
</Script>
<style type="text/css">
{
#toppage{
width:800px;
}
But when
I followed the default.ctp file,
I noticed that these tags (i.e. and ) happened to appear below the tag.
As far as
I know, the and self-defined Javascript functions should be put inside the tag of the HTML instead.
I have considered to add the and in the default.ctp file, but then
these codes would appear in every web pages instead of just a particular web page.
Please help.
