Hi all -
I’m trying to use a javascript library in my rails app and I’m getting
a routing error that I can’t seem to fix. I’m using rails 1.2.3, and
all restful routing. In my layout file, I have the following line:
<%= javascript_include_tag “external” %>
then in #RAILS_ROOT/public/javascripts I have a file called
“external.js”.
When I try to load the page in question, I get this error in my log:
ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match “/javascripts/
external.js” with {:method=>:get}):

Is this normal? I guess it makes sense, given that Javascript pulls
include files in via HTTP, but I’m a little unsure what the best way
to solve this is.
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated…thanks!
